Lactate Test In Kolkata

Starts from 450*

The lactate test in Kolkata is also known as the lactic acid test. This test checks for the level of lactate or lactic acid that is present in the blood. The main cause of the rising in lactic acid level is low oxygen. This cause leads to symptoms that prompt a doctor to prescribe a lactate test to the patient.

The lactate test is also used to check for other conditions that cause a change in the normal lactic acid levels in the blood.

About Lactate Test

Why is the Lactate test done?

Lactic acid is produced by the red blood cells and muscles when energy is produced due to the breaking down of food. This energy is used by the body when oxygen levels are low but the body is pushed more to work hard. Ideally, the presence of lactate or lactic acid depends on the pH of the blood. Neutral pH of blood means the presence of lactate.

Normally athletes are required to undergo the lactate test before they go for any strenuous sports. The lactate test is often prescribed by doctors when patients show the following symptoms:

  • Exercising hard
  • Heart failure
  • Very severe infection
  • Trauma or shock
  • Nausea
  • Fever and chills
  • Headache
  • Confusion
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Irregular breathing
  • Light sensitivity
What does the Lactate test measure?

The lactate test measures the presence of lactate in the blood. High levels of lactate is indicative of severe bacterial infection, Lactic acidosis, or even liver failure. The production of lactic acid takes place in the muscles and is metabolized in the liver. If the liver does not function properly, high amount of lactate is released in the blood.

Doctors often prescribe the lactate test to people who suffer from the following:

  • Diabetic ketoacidosis
  • Heart failure
  • Lungs disease
  • Sepsis which is a form of severe infection that can affect the whole body
  • Hypoxia is the condition that often arises due to very low oxygen levels in blood
  • Meningitis
  • Anemia
Potential risks/side effects associated with the Lactate test

The lactate test is conducted by drawing blood from either the arteries or veins. In the hands of an experienced phlebotomist, this process of sample collection does not pose any serious side effects or risks.

Some people can feel irritation when the needle punctures the skin. Some bruising can occur and people with low blood count can feel dizzy. But, these side effects are minor and people recover from them soon.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED

Interpreting the Lactate test results

A lactate test should yield only low levels to be considered as normal. High levels of lactate in the blood are considered to be a sign of lactic acidosis. The levels for lactate are measured in milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L). Since arterial blood has more oxygen as compared to venous blood, the results differ.

For the venous blood sample, the normal is considered to be between 0.5 mEq/L to 2.2 mEq/L. For the arterial blood sample, the normal should be 0.5 mEq/L to 1.6 mEq/L.

The causes of lactic acidosis can vary. Some reasons are:

  • Severe dehydration
  • Leukemia or anemia
  • Carbon monoxide poisoning
  • Antifreeze or alcohol poisoning

Ms Sujata arrived on time and was very polite and caring throughout the process. Actually there was a mistake on my part where I couldn't attend her calls because I was not well and i feel asleep bcoz of my medicines. I had scheduled an appointment for my mother but Ms Sujata somehow reached my address by asking my neighbours. Such a lovely girl, and also the collection process was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend everyone to check out their services
