Patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) had decreased quality of life (QOL) and worse fatigue that could be linked to lactate dehydrogenase levels. Researchers found that levels of ...

Higher levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) at baseline were independently linked to an increased risk for heart failure (HF) events or cardiovascular death in patients with HF with reduced ejection ...

The purpose of this report is to present the findings in a group of 20 patients with pulmonary insufficiency, all but 2 of whom had arterial oxygen tensions below 50 mm. of mercury. The 20 subjects ...

Serum lactate levels of more than 4 mmol/L on admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) were associated with an increased rate of 60-day mortality in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) receiving ...

Scientists have developed a prototype sensor that could help doctors rapidly measure adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and lactate levels in blood samples from patients, aiding in the rapid assessment of ...

Elevated white blood cell counts also appear to correlate with shorter overall survival in patients receiving standard induction chemotherapy plus cytarabine for acute myeloid leukemia. High serum ...

Because of a known association between elevated lactate levels and increased mortality, sepsis guidelines mandate that lactate levels should be tested soon after the onset of sepsis. A new study found ...

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 ...

When George Brooks first began investigating lactate, or lactic acid, sports physiologists saw it as a muscle poison that lowered performance. His research over decades has reversed that picture, ...
