A-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase is an enzyme in cardiac enzymology and is mostly found in myocardial erythrocytes, leukocytes, and kidneys. It is commonly elevated in acute myocardial infarction, skeletal muscle injury, acute hepatitis, leukemia, and malignancy, infectious mononucleosis, etc. However, it is not highly specific and needs to be combined with other laboratory findings to arrive at a relevant diagnosis.
The upper limit of the normal value of the test results varies depending on the equipment and reagents in each hospital’s laboratory department. This means that the range of normal values set by the hospital in which the test is performed depends on the hospital. But in general, the differences are not too great. Generally the normal value of a-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase ground is 72-182 U/L, a-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase 236 is mildly elevated. It is necessary to analyze the patient’s condition comprehensively and treat the cause symptomatically.
