LDH only indicates there is tissue damage. Needs associated other markers to evaluate organs likely damaged. In Covid initially it's lung but gradually other organs like kidney, liver, heart and brain may be affected.
In your case it's marginally raised post Covid. So need no worry. It will gradually come to normal.
Next Steps
Certain drugs can increase LDH
Health Tips
If currently healthy, forget LDH.
