Initial lactate levels greater than 36 mg/dL were significantly associated with increased mortality in children treated for sepsis in the ED, according to the results of an observational cohort study ...

Lactate measurements already have many uses but are still playing an increasingly important role in healthcare. With typical levels of approximately 2 mM/mL, lactate is a by-product of energy used in ...

Researchers performed a retrospective study of cats treated in the intensive care unit of Penn's Ryan Hospital. In cats with low blood pressure, the researchers found that animals with a normal level ...

In clinical practice, lactate is a well-established tool for establishing diagnosis and prognosis in critically ill patients. 1 It can be used to diagnose sepsis and can also help in monitoring ...
