BLOOD C/S LACTATE 3 SAMPLES - Book Test at Low Cost

What is the BLOOD C/S LACTATE 3 SAMPLES Test?

The BLOOD C/S LACTATE 3 SAMPLES Test measures lactate, or lactic acid, in your blood. These substances are produced by muscle and red blood cells, which transport oxygen from the lungs to other organs. Lactic acid levels in the blood are usually low. Oxygen depletion raises lactic acid levels. This can be caused by:

• * Exercises
• * Heart Failure.
• * Infections
• * Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a potentially fatal disorder.

This is the most common test for lactic acidosis. The test can also:

• * Find out if the body's tissues get adequate oxygen
