Tumor Markers

[amm2000uk]

Hello every one;
Happy new year and hope all we get well

I had Teratoma testicular cancer about 2 months a go and the tumour was removed the recently my blood tests showing those tumour Amarkers:

AFP < 4
HSG < 2
LDH about 447 :confused:
Any ideas why the LDH is high !!!??

Thanks

Good question. LDH can be elevated by a number of things. Check out this page (http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/lactate_dehydrogenase_test.jsp) for some examples. Did your doctor offer any hypotheses?

Oh, and welcome to the forums! :)
