Determination of Lactate Concentrations In Blood Plasma and Peritoneal Fluid In Horses with Colic by an Accusport Analyzer

Abstract

PFL is more useful and sensitive than BPL for prognostic purposes in horses with colic.

Clinical evaluation of serum alcohol dehydrogenase activity in horses with acute intestinal obstruction

“…Because most l ‐lactic acid is produced following anaerobic metabolism of glucose, its concentration in blood is a good indicator of the severity of metabolic acidosis secondary to tissue hypoperfusion 41 . The blood vessel occlusion caused by intestinal strangulation causes tissue hypoperfusion and subsequent production of l ‐lactic acid from hypoperfused tissue.…”

Blood concentrations ofd‐ andl‐lactate in healthy rabbits

“…, Delesalle et al. ). In dogs, hyperlactatemia is defined as a blood lactate concentration above normal established values (>2 · 5 mmol/L), irrespective of the corresponding acid base status (Hughes et al.…”

Blood lactate concentrations in ponies and miniature horses with gastrointestinal disease

“…Blood lactate concentrations can be a useful component when assessing cardiovascular status, as in most cases a close relationship exists between the severity of cardiovascular compromise and increase in blood lactate concentrations. Equally, high blood lactate concentrations have frequently been associated with the presence of a surgical lesion, need for resection and anastomosis and decreased chances of survival . It is generally assumed that horse and pony breeds behave similarly with regard to lactate metabolism, and few studies have investigated species specific differences.…”
