Abstract:
Both endogenous and exogenous hypercorticisms are associated with a modest increase of the activity of serum lactate dehydrogenase. Considering both the wide use of this parameter and the frequent prescription of corticosteroids in clinical practice, awareness of this phenomenon is useful to avoid unnecessary investigations.
