The LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) test in pericardial fluid assesses inflammation or malignancy. Elevated LDH in pericardial fluid, compared to blood, often suggests infection or cancer in the pericardial space. It supports diagnosis in patients presenting with pericarditis, chest pain, or unexplained fluid accumulation around the heart.
