Kidney Failure Lactate Levels. Given no difference in the clinical parameters noted above the authors ruled out a correlation between liver dysfunction and severity. Overall lactate levels decreased by 27 sd 35 after hemodialysis with a decrease of 37 sd 31 for subgroups with a lactate level of 1 9 to 2 4 mmol l and 62 sd 14 with a lactate of 2 5 to 3 9 mmol l.
P 0 001 and a positive correlation was found between lactate and ast levels r 0 55. In lactic acidosis the liver is unable to remove excess acid. Though there were no differences in other variables including lowest systolic blood pressure serum creatinine and simplified acute physiology score lactate levels were significantly higher in the group with liver disease 8 24 mmol l vs 4 29 mmol l.
P 001 11.
Though there were no differences in other variables including lowest systolic blood pressure serum creatinine and simplified acute physiology score lactate levels were significantly higher in the group with liver disease 8 24 mmol l vs 4 29 mmol l. Indeed even when the lactate level is artificially kept at approximately 10 mol l to maximize urinary excretion such excretion only accounts for 10 12 of the total removal of lactate achieved by the kidney.
