LDH and LDH isoenzymes in ovarian dysgerminoma.
Lactic Dehydrogenase (LDH) serum levels were evaluated in three patients with ovarian dysgerminoma and LDH isoenzymes only in one of them. LDH serum levels were elevated at diagnosis and normal after therapy in all the patients; remained low in two patients in remission, increased in one at the moment of progression. LDH isoenzymes appeared to be of limited clinical use.
