Serum lactate dehydrogenase level predicts the prognosis in bladder cancer patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recently, several studies investigated the association between lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level and the prognosis of urothelial carcinoma. However, no studies explored the role of serum LDH level in the survival of overall bladder cancer (BC). In this study, we intended to address the association of LDH level with the prognosis of BC.

Methods

206 patients with BC were included in this study. The clinical data and blood samples of patients were collected. The overall survival and progression-free survival were used. Kaplan-Meier method and Log rank test were used to evaluate the effects of LDH level on the survival of BC. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were utilized to identify prognosis predictors of BC.

Results

Data indicated that ser
