Li et al found that combining MRI with LDH testing improved sensitivity and specificity to 100%.[32] Nishigaya et al further demonstrated that preoperative serum levels of LDH, d-dimer, and C-reactive protein can assist in differentiating uterine fibroids, particularly in cases of degenerative or atypical fibroids.[33]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is uterine corpus leiomyoma.
