What is Lactate as Sepsis Mortality Predictor about?
This document discusses the role of lactate as a biomarker for sepsis detection, prognosis, and mortality prediction. Elevated lactate levels indicate tissue hypoxia and are associated with worse outcomes in sepsis patients. While single lactate measurements can provide prognostic information, serial lactate testing is more useful for monitoring treatment response and stratifying patient risk. Multiple studies found that higher lactate levels and slower lactate clearance correlated with increased mortality.
