Notes

Note 1 Physician Statement

Physician statement of the LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) Pre-Orchiectomy Range can be used to code this data item when no other information is available.

Note 2 Timing

Record the range of the highest LDH test result documented in the medical record prior to orchiectomy or prior to any systemic treatment. The lab value may be documented in a lab report, history and physical, or clinical statement in the pathology report.

Note 3 Calculating the upper limit

To calculate whether the lab result is in a particular range, multiply the lab’s upper limit of normal (usually stated on the report) times the stated multiplier. If the test is elevated, determine whether it is less than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (code 1), between 1.5 and 10 times the upper limit of normal (code 2), or more than 10 times the upper limit of normal (code 3). (See coding guidelines for example).

Note 4 LDH and Testis

Of the three tumor markers, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is the least specific for testicular cancer. The magnitude of LDH elevation directly correlates with Testis tumor burden.

Code	Description

Code	Description
0	Within normal limits
1	Less than 1.5 x N (Less than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal for LDH)
2	1.5 to 10 x N (Between 1.5 and 10 times the upper limit of normal for LDH)
3	Greater than 10 x N (Greater than 10 times the upper limit of normal for LDH)
4	Pre-Orchiectomy lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) range stated to be elevated
7	Test ordered, results not in chart
8	Not applicable: Information not collected for this case (If this information is required by your standard setter, use of code 8 may result in an edit error.)
9	Not documented in medical record LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) Pre-Orchiectomy Range not assessed or unknown if assessed
