Article Synopsis
- Infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) can develop intestinal gangrene, which is a severe form of the disease characterized by intestinal tissue death due to lack of blood flow.
- A study conducted from 1998 to 2006 reviewed cases of infants who underwent surgery for NEC, focusing on the serum enzyme levels in those with and without intestinal gangrene.
- Results showed that infants with gangrene had significantly higher levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), suggesting that measuring LDH could help doctors make better surgical decisions for NEC patients.
