Da. Wright et al., USE OF CONTINUOUS HEMOFILTRATION TO ASSESS THE RATE OF LACTATE METABOLISM IN ACUTE VENAL FAILURE, Clinical science, 90(6), 1996, pp. 507-510
1. Whole-blood lactate levels were measured at different rates of haem
ofiltration in 10 patients with acute renal failure undergoing convent
ional continuous haemofiltration using lactate-buffered replacement fl
uid, 2. The results enable both basal production rates and the metabol
ic clearance of lactate to be estimated in man.
