Lactate Plasma Test
Introduction to the Lactate Plasma Test
The Lactate Plasma Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to measure the concentration of lactate in the blood. Lactate is a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism, and elevated levels can indicate various metabolic disorders. Understanding your lactate levels can help healthcare providers assess your metabolic health and guide treatment decisions.
