Measurement of blood lactate response to exercise is very common in the physiological assessment of high performance in athletes. Many exercise physiology laboratories measure the blood lactate response to exercise together with other intensity parameters such as heart rate, power, oxygen consumption, etc. Lactate analysis can serve as an indicator of adaptation to training and […]

At Laktate we wanted to make a comparative analysis of the 3 lactate analysers that we commercialize, but in this case from an economic point of view. We believe that this kind of analysis may be of interest, so that the users have a more objective view which can help them decide the type of analyser […]
Relative hyperlactatemia and hospital mortality in critically ill patients: a retrospective multi-centre study
This article was written in English by Alistair D Nichol, Moritoki Egi, Ville Pettila, Rinaldo Bellomo, Craig French,Graeme Hart, Andrew Davies, Edward Stachowski, Michael C Reade, Michael Bailey and David James Cooper. The authors tested the hypothesis that relative hyperlactatemia is independently associated with an increased risk of hospital death. The abstract of this article is available here, where you will also find a link […]
Serial Blood Lactate Levels Can Predict the Development of Multiple Organ Failure Following Septic Shock
In this article, written in English by Jan Bakker, Philippe Gris, Michel Coffernils, Robert J. Kahn and Jean-Louis Vincent, the authors examined the relation between serial blood lactate levels and the development of MSOF, or mortality, in patients with septic shock. We invite you to read the abstract of this article here, where we have […]
Occult hypoperfusion and mortality in patients with suspected infection
This article, written in English by Michael D. Howell, Michael Donnino, Peter Clardy, Daniel Talmor and Nathan I. Shapiro, aims to determine, in the early stages of suspected clinically significant infection, the independent relationship of the presenting venous lactate level to 28-day in-hospital mortality.
