LACTATE

The Lactate Test measures the level of lactic acid, which is produced when the cells don’t get enough oxygen and switch to energy production without oxygen. High lactate levels may indicate conditions like infections, sepsis, heart failure, liver disease, or problems with oxygen delivery. This test assesses the severity of illness and detects underlying health issues related to oxygen and metabolism.
