Understanding Lactate, Plasma
Lactate is a substance produced when the body breaks down carbohydrates for energy under low oxygen conditions (anaerobic metabolism). Normally, lactate is present in small amounts and cleared by the liver. However, when the body’s tissues lack sufficient oxygen, or when lactate clearance is impaired, levels rise in the blood, a condition called hyperlactatemia. Excessively high levels may lead to lactic acidosis, a serious condition that disrupts the body’s acid-base balance.
