Use of continuous haemofiltration to assess the rate of lactate metabolism in acute renal failure

Clin Sci (Lond). 1996 Jun;90(6):507-10. doi: 10.1042/cs0900507.

Abstract

1. Whole-blood lactate levels were measured at different rates of haemofiltration in 10 patients with acute renal failure undergoing conventional continuous haemofiltration using lactate-buffered replacement fluid. 2. The results enable both basal production rates and the metabolic clearance of lactate to be estimated in man.
