What does loss of fatty hilum mean in my neck lymph nodes
Hello and thanks for posting,
Although you have posted in Ask the Nurses, I can see that another user has already commented on your post.
The sentence you have posted, is I think a description from an ultrasound report. This can suggest an abnormal appearance, but this sentence on its own, is not a diagnosis. Unfortunately, we can't really comment much more, or suggest what this might mean for you. Your referring doctor will decide if any other further investigations are required to get more clinical information.
I can appreciate that it is an anxious time and hopefully, you will get to find out more about your situation soon.
Take care,
Vanda

Hi Vanda,
My apologies Vanda, I took this off the home page and hadn't realised that it was a question for the nurses.
Kind regards,

Hi I have had my biopsy plus more blood test...can you give me any information on my LDH level of 475? I have rang doctors but there not telling me anything x
Hello and thanks for your further post
Lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) is found in many of the body's tissues and organs. It is mainly used to help identify the location and severity of tissue damage in the body. The NHS website has some information about the test here.
I'm afraid we can't tell you what a level of 475 means for you. This has to come from your medical team. Hopefully,they will be able to explain this in more detail for you.
Kind regards,
