Urine Lactate Dehydrogenase Electrophoresis Showing Extra Isozyme Band -Report of 4 Cases-
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LD) isozyme studies are widely used in various clinical
conditions and there are well documented cases of extra LD bands in patients with
various diseases. However, it is only in recent years that urinary LD isozyme patterns
have been utilized for differential diagnosis of urinary trace infections and to our best
knowledge extra LD bands in urine have not been reported in the literature.
In recent two years, we have experienced urinary extra LD bands in 4 patients with
clinical and laboratory evidence of urinary tract infections. Two of these patients had
spesis and one was in postoperative state of prostatic carcinoma and another one had
recurrent urinary tract infection.. These extra LD bands showed similar electrophoresis
mobility, moving anodal to LD1 fraction on cellulose acetate
electrophoresis.
The origin and significance of these extra LD bands in urine is not known, and some
of the possibilities are discussed.
