title: Lactate dehydrogenase activity in ocular tumors.
abstract: Estimates of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in aqueous and serum was carried out on 15 cases of benign ocular tumor, 15 cases of malignant tumor, and 15 normal cases. LDH levels were high in serum and aqueous of cases with malignant tumor as compared to benign tumor and control cases. Total LDH activity in serum and aqueous was grossly elevated in malignant tumor cases (specially retinoblastoma).
