This test measures lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes in a sample of your blood. It's a general test that can help find out if you have tissue damage from disease or injury. It can also help show which organs and other tissues are likely to be damaged. But an LDH isoenzymes test alone cannot diagnose what's causing the damage.
