AN ELDERLY PATIENT WITH LACTIC DEHYDROGENASE ANOMALY

Abstract

A 79-year-old man with lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) anomaly whom we followed for about ten years is described. The immunoglobulins binding to LDH were IgG, A, and M. This combination of immunoglobulins is extremely rare. While the patient had cholelithiasis, cholecystitis and transient hepatitis B infection during the 10-year period, it was not clarified whether these diseases affected the production of LDH-binding immunoglobulins.
