Lactate Physiology and Clinical Applications
Presented by Sarah E. Allen, DVM, DACVECC
(Emergency)
Lactic acidosis most commonly occurs as a result of tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia that can occur with shock, sepsis, severe anemia and respiratory distress. Extensive research in humans has found lactate useful for assessing severity of illness and monitoring response to therapy. Although limited, veterinary research shows promise for the use of lactate monitoring in small animals.
