L-lactate and D-lactate - clinical significance of the difference
نویسنده
چکیده
In all vertebrates, including humans, the L-lactate form is by far the most abundant and pathophysiologically significant, and it is this form that is specifically measured by the lactate sensors in blood gas analyzers and indeed all routine methods used to measure lactate in the clinical laboratory. The main focus of this brief review is physiological and pathological aspects that distinguish L-lactate and D-lactate. Consideration will be given to the very rare instance when measurement of blood D-lactate is clinically useful and just why the lactate sensor in blood gas analyzers is not useful in such rare circumstance.

Background & Aims: Metabolic acidosis can be harmful and can complicate cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during coronary artery bypass graft surgery. We hypothesized that the pump prime can cause this disturbance. We compared effects of Ringer solution with Ringer Lactate, two types of priming fluid in producing metabolic acidosis in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) ...Materi...

This study investigated the effect of water immersion and passive recovery on blood lactate and subsequent swimming performance. Ten trained female swimmers, age (17.8 ±2.2), height (164.55.8 cm), weight (59.29.9 kg), %BF (22.41.7) and BMI (21.85.4kg/m2) completed three experimental trials differing in 15 min recovery intervention three times a week with 48 hrs distance: land (sitting near the ...

Despite recent innovations in the laboratory diagnosis of bacterial from nonbacterial meningitis, solid data-necessary for early determination of bacterial meningitis (BM) before organism growth in the culture medium-are missing. Therefore cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate levels were evaluated as a possible means of differentiating the two clinical entities. This was a retrospective study....
