Correlation between Lactate Dehydrogenase and Severity Clinical Degree of COVID-19 Patients
Abstract: Background: Elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)occurs in clinical conditions such as severe infection in COVID-19.1LDH is present in the lung tissue so that the occurrence of severe pneumonia causes the release of larger amounts of LDH which indicates the severity of COVID-19.2 This study aims to analyzed correlation between lactate dehydrogenase and severity clinical degree of COVID-19 patients who hospitalized at Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, Indonesia. Materials and Methods: This study is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional study design. We analyzed laboratory tests to identify tissue damage and inflammatory status in 180COVID-19 patients (50.6% males and 49.4% females) admitted to Department of Pulmonology and Respiratory Medicine, Adam Malik General Hospital. We investigated the relationship between LDH values(normal range
