Rapid Enzymatic Measurement of Blood Lactate and Pyruvate

Marbach, Edward P, Weil, Max Harry·1967·Clinical Chemistry

Abstract

A modification of enzymatic technics for measurement of concentrations of lactate and pyruvate in blood is described. A common protein-free filtrate is prepared by adding blood directly to cold 5% metaphosphoric acid. Theoretical yields are obtained. Recoveries for lactate range from 98 to 102% and for pyruvate from 97 to 104%. Assay of both lactate and pyruvate is simplified and has a high order of reliability. Since both analyses are completed within a period of 20 mm., the method is especially valuable in the emergent clinical situation in which measurements of lactate and pyruvate are obtained for assessment of the severity of shock and other forms of cardiorespiratory failure.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
