LDH-1 is raised in which disease?

Correct answer: C. Heart disorders

  • A. Rickets
  • B. Anaemia
  • C. Heart disorders
  • D. Stroke

Explanation

LDH-1 (lactate dehydrogenase-1) is an enzyme found in various tissues, including the heart, liver, kidneys, and red blood cells. It is an important diagnostic marker used in the assessment of certain medical conditions.In particular, elevated levels of LDH-1 are commonly associated with heart disorders, such as myocardial infarction (heart attack), congestive heart failure, and other forms of cardiac injury or damage. When the heart muscle is injured or stressed, it releases LDH-1 into the bloodstream, leading to an increase in its levels.Therefore, an increase in LDH-1 is often observed in patients with heart disorders, making it a useful indicator for assessing heart health and diagnosing related conditions.

About Biological Molecules

The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
