Description
LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) Post-Orchiectomy Range identifies the range category of the lowest LDH value measured post-orchiectomy. LDH is a nonspecific marker for testicular cancer that is elevated in some germ cell tumors. The Post-Orchiectomy lab value is used to monitor response to therapy.
Rationale
LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) is a Registry Data Collection Variable in AJCC. LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) Post-Orchiectomy Range is used to assign the S Category Pathological and was previously collected as Testis CS SSF# 16.
Allowable Values
0-5, 7-9
Codes
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Within normal limits |
| 1 | Less than 1.5 x N (Less than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal for LDH) |
| 2 | 1.5 to 10 x N (Between 1.5 and 10 times the upper limit of normal for LDH) |
| 3 | Greater than 10 x N (Greater than 10 times the upper limit of normal for LDH) |
| 4 | Post-Orchiectomy lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) range stated to be elevated |
| 5 | Post-Orchiectomy lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) unknown or not done but pre-orchiectomy LDH was normal |
| 7 | Test ordered, results not in chart |
| 8 | Not applicable: Information not collected for this case (If this information is required by your standard setter, use of code 8 may result in an edit error.) |
| 9 | Not documented in medical record No orchiectomy performed LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) Post-Orchiectomy Range not assessed or unknown if assessed |
