An LDH test is most often used to: Find out if you have tissue damage. Monitor disorders that cause tissue damage. These include anemia, liver disease, lung disease, and some types of infections.
Lactate dehydrogenase (also called lactic acid dehydrogenase, or LDH) is an enzyme found in almost all body tissues. It plays an important role in cellular respiration, the process by which glucose (sugar) from food is converted into usable energy for our cells.

R74.01Elevation of levels of liver transaminase levels R74. 01 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R74. 01 became effective on October 1, 2021.
One of a group of enzymes found in the blood and other body tissues, and involved in energy production in cells. An increased amount in the blood may be a sign of tissue damage and some types of cancer or other diseases. Also called lactate dehydrogenase and lactic acid dehydrogenase.
LDH is an enzyme found in many body tissues such as the heart, liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, brain, blood cells, and lungs. When body tissue is damaged, LDH is released into the blood. The LDH test helps determine the location of tissue damage.
ICD-10-CM Code for Elevation of levels of lactic acid dehydrogenase [LDH] R74. 02.
Hyperlactatemia is the way providers describe elevated lactate short of lactic acidosis. There is no indexing for hyperlactatemia. The ICD-10-CM indexing will take “excessive lacticemia” to E87. 2.
