Blood lactate test can reflect the state of tissue oxygen supply and metabolism as well as insufficient perfusion. It is of significance in the treatment of diseases caused by myocardial infarction, cardiac insufficiency and insufficient blood flow.
Lactate assay is to check the concentration of lactic acid in the blood. Lactic acid is the end product of anaerobic fermentation of glucose in the body. Lactate measurement is very important in guiding the treatment of intensive care patients, especially in the management of tissue hypoxia caused by myocardial infarction, cardiac insufficiency, and inadequate blood flow.
Lactic acid is a metabolic product of the anaerobic oxidation of sugar (glycolysis). Lactic acid is produced in bone, muscle, brain and red blood cells. It is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Blood lactate measurements reflect tissue oxygen supply and metabolic status, as well as inadequate perfusion. Increased levels of lactate can be seen in a variety of clinical conditions.
Lactate measurement is useful in predicting the onset of disease and identifying the presence of anaerobic fermentation or tissue hypoxia. As one of the auxiliary tests for clinical diagnosis, it is of great significance, and it is necessary to arrange the examination as well as medication under the guidance of specialized doctors.
If there is any discomfort, you should consult a doctor in time.
