what the risks are blood test, ld, lactic, lactate, dehydrogenase isoenzymes, ldh isoenzymes measures the amount, the different forms of lactate dehydrogenase, ldh, in blood serum, blood is drawn, a vein, the elbow, the hand, puncture site is cleaned, antiseptic, an elastic band, around the upper arm to apply pressure, vein to swell, blood, a needle is inserted, vein, blood is collected in an air-tight vial, a syringe, band is removed, restore circulation, once the blood has been collected, needle is removed, puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding, in infants, young children, area is cleansed, antiseptic, punctured, a sharp needle, a lancet, blood collected, pipette, small glass tube, on a slide, onto a test strip, into a small container, a bandage applied, puncture site, any bleeding, health care provider, advise to withhold drugs, affect the test, special considerations, infants, children, test depends on child's age, level of trust, prepare child, infant test, procedure preparation, birth to 1 year, toddler test, procedure preparation, 1 to 3 years, preschooler test, procedure preparation, 3 to 6 years, schoolage test, procedure preparation, 6 to 12 years, adolescent test, procedure preparation, 12 to 18 years, the needle is inserted to draw blood, feel moderate pain, a prick, stinging sensation, some throbbing, this test, performed, elevated ldh levels, suspected, measurement of ldh isoenzymes helps determine the location of tissue damage, enzyme ldh is found in many body tissues, heart, liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, brain, blood cells, lungs, ldh is very important, metabolism, ldh exists in 5 forms, isoenzymes, differ slightly in structure, ldh-1 is found primarily in heart muscle, red blood cells, ldh-2 is concentrated in white blood cells, ldh-3 is highest, in the lung, ldh-4 is highest, in the kidney, placenta, pancreas, ldh-5 is highest, in the liver, skeletal muscle, all of these isoenzymes, measured, in the blood, ldh, found in many tissues, total ldh is not specific, heart disease, concentration of ldh-2 is greater than ldh-1, after a heart attack, concentration of ldh-1, higher than that of ldh-2, a "flipped" ldh pattern, ldh level rises, 24, 72 hours after a heart attack, peaks in 3, 4 days, returns to normal in, 14 days, greater-than-normal ldh isoenzyme levels seen in, heart attack, hemolytic anemia, hypotension, infectious mononucleosis, intestinal ischemia, blood deficiency, infarction, tissue death, liver disease hepatitis, muscle injury, muscular dystrophy, pancreatitis, pulmonary, lung, infarction, tissue death, stroke, ischemic cardiomyopathy, excessive bleeding, fainting, feeling light-headed, hematoma, blood accumulating under the skin, infection, a slight risk, the skin is broken, multiple punctures to locate veins, drugs, increase ldh measurements include anesthetics, aspirin, clofibrate, fluorides, mithramycin, narcotics, procainamide, veins, arteries vary in size, obtaining a blood sample.
