Normal value range is 105 - 333 IU/L (international units per liter).However,normal value may vary slightly among different laboratories.

You need proper clinical examination and cause of increased LDH should be evaluated.
You may need investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,renal function test,lipid profile,urine RE/ME,ultrasound of abdomen.
