Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

A lactate test is a blood test that measures the level of lactate in your blood. Lactate is a substance that is produced when your body breaks down glucose for energy.

A lactate test is used to diagnose various diseases. The most common disease diagnosed with a lactate test is lactic acidosis. Lactic acidosis is a condition that results when the body produces too much lactic acid.

There are a few different scenarios in which your doctor may recommend a lactate test.

  • If you have unexplained fatigue or muscle weakness, a lactate test can help determine if there is an underlying metabolic disorder.
  • If you have heart failure, a lactate test can be used to monitor your condition and see how well your treatment is working.
  • A lactate test may also be recommended if you have liver disease, as high levels of lactate in the blood can be a sign of liver damage.

Normal levels of lactate in the blood are 0.5 to 2 mmol/L. A level above 2 mmol/L is considered high and may indicate that you are not able to process lactate efficiently.

There are a few things you can do to lower your lactate test level.

  • First, make sure you are properly hydrated.
  • Second, warm up properly before exercise.
  • Third, avoid high-intensity exercise.
