[Changes of urinary enzyme activity in cancer of the urinary bladder].
Assays of blood serum and urine samples from patients with cancer of the urinary bladder established enhanced levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). The findings were significant as far as malignancies were concerned. Male patients with transitional cell carcinoma revealed significant increase in DH blood serum while, in moderately- and low-differentiated tumor cases, it was higher in urine. In female patients, increased levels were registered in urine and in low-differentiated tumor only. Prognostic value of LDH levels in males was relatively higher.
