There is an IFCC "reference" method: L to P The best LDH method as a tumour marker is L to P (Tietz and others). I agree with David Bullock we should use just one method It would appear that L to P is the method of choice and for patient safety reasons we should all use L to P. martin ------ACB discussion List Information-------- This is an open discussion list for the academic and clinical community working in clinical biochemistry.
