Lactate (Plasma/Serum) (BC0087)

Description

Lactate (Plasma/Serum) is a blood test used to measure the concentration of lactic acid in the blood, an important indicator of tissue hypoxia and impaired oxygen utilization. This test is widely used in the evaluation and management of sepsis, shock, severe infections, respiratory failure, metabolic acidosis, and other critical illnesses. Blood lactate levels help assess disease severity, guide resuscitation, and monitor response to treatment, especially in emergency and intensive care settings.
