LAB188
LDH BF
UCH Clinical Laboratory - Core
1 mL of an acceptable body fluid type, collected in a sterile container. Acceptable fluid types:
For all other body fluid types, contact the Clinical Laboratory-Core to obtain Chemistry Medical Director approval for test performance.
Minimum volume: 0.2 mL
Minimum volume: 0.2 mL fluid.
Sample not properly identified; incorrect container; insufficient sample volume; refrigerated or frozen sample.
Unacceptable sample types include synovial fluid and amniotic fluid
Test will be cancelled if the pH of the sample is outside of the acceptable limits for testing. The pH must be 7.3 - 9.0.
Internal: Deliver to lab immediately.
Offsite: Send at ambient temperature.
Daily
Ambient: 2 days; Refrigerated: Unacceptable; Frozen: Unacceptable.
Identify fluid source on requisition. Because of sample viscosity, synovial fluid is not an acceptable sample type.

Coupled Enzymatic
Same day

LDH BF
Effective 05/20/2014:
The reference range for LDH in body fluids is undefined. The result must be integrated into the clinical context and/or compared to a synchronous serum or plasma measurement.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by University of Colorado Hospital. It has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. The laboratory is regulated under CLIA as qualified to perform high-complexity testing. This test is used for clinical purposes. It should not be regarded as investigational or for research.
