Changes to lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) reference intervals
From 18 February 2023, the currently used reference interval for LDH of 110-220 IU/L (across all ages) will be changed. It will now reflect age-adjusted partitioning in line with AACB and other reference interval harmonisation efforts across New Zealand between public and private laboratories.
- 0-14 days <1200 IU/L
- 14 days – 1 yr <450 IU/L
- 1 yr – 10 yrs <320 IU/L
- 10 yrs 120 – 250 IU/L
