Lactate Plasma - Book Test at Low Cost

A doctor suggests a lactate test for sepsis, shock, or severe congestive heart failure patients. Rapid breathing, nausea, and sweating indicate a lack of oxygen. High blood lactate suggests a lack of oxygen or excessive lactate production/clearing.

Hyperlactatemia is the presence of too much lactate in the blood. Lactate levels can be measured in both venous and arterial blood. 

Why done? 

• If a doctor suspects sepsis, heart attack, severe congestive heart failure, kidney failure, or untreated diabetes
