yes 

Note 1 Physician statement of the LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) Pre-Orchiectomy Range can be used to code this data item when no other information is available.

Note 2 Record the range of the highest LDH test result documented in the medical record prior to orchiectomy or prior to any systemic treatment. The lab value may be documented in a lab report, history and physical, or clinical statement in the pathology report.

Note 3 Of the three tumor markers, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is the least specific for testicular cancer. The magnitude of LDH elevation directly correlates with Testis tumor burden.
