CSF is not a recommended sample for LDH on Vitros-5600-OCD (a machine that we have been using for almost 3 years now). Pleural fluid is also not a recommended sample. This does not prevent us from performing the test on pleural fluid sometimes. We did not have any opportunity yet to perform the test on CSF but we would do such a thing for example in case of a CSF which would contain immature cells, or cells suspicious of being malignant.
