Lactate Dehydrogenase Deficiency

Lactate Dehydrogenase Deficiency

Lactate dehydrogenase deficiency is a rare metabolic disorder affecting the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase, crucial for converting lactate to pyruvate. Symptoms include muscle cramps, fatigue, and exercise intolerance. Diagnosis often involves enzyme assays and genetic testing. Treatment centres on symptom management and avoiding intense physical activity. Lactate dehydrogenase deficiency is inheritable via autosomal recessive traits.
