According to pretreatment values of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), 113 consecutive patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were divided into three levels: level 1 (within normal range) with LDH less than 250 U/l; level 2 (moderately increased) with LDH between 250 and 500 U/l; level 3 (highly increased) with LDH more than 500 U/l. LDH was elevated in 46 of 113 patients (41%). Normal values of LDH were associated with a better response to therapy and a longer survival, independent of histological type and clinical stage, with one exception; in stage IV patients conclusions could not be drawn concerning the response to therapy (complete remission occurred only in 8 of 44). Even though level 2 patients behaved slightly better than level 3 patients, no statistical difference has been observed between the two levels. Accordingly, serum LDH can be considered a useful predictor of response to therapy and of survival in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
根据血清乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)的预处理值,113例连续的非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者被分为三个水平:1级(正常范围),LDH低于250 U/l;2级(中度升高),LDH在250至500 U/l之间;3级(高度升高),LDH高于500 U/l。113例患者中有46例(41%)的LDH升高。LDH正常与对治疗的更好反应和更长生存期相关,与组织学类型和临床分期无关,但有一个例外;在IV期患者中,无法得出关于治疗反应的结论(44例中仅有8例完全缓解)。尽管2级患者的表现略优于3级患者,但两级之间未观察到统计学差异。因此,血清LDH可被视为非霍奇金淋巴瘤治疗反应和生存的有用预测指标。
