A lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test usually measures the level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in a sample of your blood. In certain cases, LDH levels are measured in samples of other body fluids. This includes testing fluid from the spine ( cerebrospinal fluid ), the belly ( peritoneal fluid ), and the chest ( pleural fluid ).
