“…Various pathologies such as abdominal and lung cancer, teratoma, toxic hepatitis, megaloblastic anemia, progressive muscular dystrophy, myocardial infarction, and pulmonary embolism also result in higher levels of serum LDH [ 9 ]. Otto Warburg noted in 1927 that malignant cells metabolically depend primarily on enhanced glycolysis preceded by fermentation of lactic acid in the presence of oxygen.…”

This systematic review and meta-analysis was planned with the objective of evaluating the level of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) in oral submucous fibrosis patients and in controls and comparing them. For this meta-analysis, we searched Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) databases using a search methodology that included combinations of MeSH terms and keywords and included cross-sectional studies to evaluate the levels of LDH in patients with Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF), Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) and compared it with the controls. The total number of records identified through database searching was 4161 (n). Analysis of the quality of the studies was done using the National Heart, Lungs and Blood Institute (NHLBI) tool for case-control studies. Twelve casecontrol studies which matched the inclusion criteria were included after the literature search. The metaanalysis was carried out using R Studio (version 4.1.3, 2022; The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). The pooled estimate that has been calculated from the salivary LDH course for OSMF was 15.35% and from the serum LDH course for OSMF was 6.82%. There was a visual observation of the funnel's plot asymmetry suggesting publication bias. After adjusting the publication bias, the t 2 values for salivary and serum LDH were 41% and 14.71%, respectively, which was less than 50%, indicating that the metaanalysis was statistically significant. The evaluation of salivary and serum LDH can be a useful method for early diagnosis of OSMF as well as OSCC. To infer that individuals may have OPMD or OSCC, specific values for salivary and serum LDH must be found in further investigations.
