Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: an exploratory cross-sectional study.
RESPIRATORY PHYSIOLOGY & NEUROBIOLOGY(2021)
摘要
We aimed to evaluate differences in serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes between patients hospi-talized for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and other lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs). Based on self-reported COPD diagnosis, 71 participants were divided into AECOPD (n = 38, 29 males, mean age 70.5 years) and LRTI (n = 33, 12 males, mean age 70.4 years) groups. Information on demographics, comorbidities, and COPD severity markers, as well as arterial blood gases and laboratory data were collected, while serum LDH electrophoresis was performed to examine the LDH isoenzymes. Adjusting for sex, age, comorbidities, degree of hypoxemia, inflammation markers, muscle and myocardial enzymes, and total serum LDH, the mean differences (95 % confidence intervals) in the ratios of serum LDH isoenzymes to total serum LDH between groups (LDHxAECOPD LDHxLRTI) were statistically significant for LDH1 [4.9 (1.4 to 8.3)], LDH2 [3.0 (0.1 to 5.8)], LDH3 [-4.3 (-6.3 to-2.3)], and LDH4 [-3.2 (-4.9 to-1.5)]. A sum of LDH3 and LDH4 ratios below 29 % had the highest discriminative ability to classify a subject in the AECOPD group (AUC 0.841, sensitivity 76 %, specificity 87 %). Aerobic metabolic adaptive mechanisms in respiratory muscles during AECOPD could explain the above differences.
