If the tissues are damaged or destroyed, the enzyme is released from the cells and enters the bloodstream, leading to an increase in blood levels. Five molecular forms of lactate dehydrogenase are known. To determine the total LD level, a joint measurement of the five LD isoenzymes is required.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"color: #0e1b8d;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading
