Term Description

Fetal scalp blood testing is a technique used in obstetrics during labor to confirm whether fetal oxygenation is sufficient. Two constituents that are commonly tested by this method are pH and lactate, both being indicators of acid base homeostasis. A low pH and high level of lactate indicate that there is acidosis, which in turn is associated with hypoxia. Observational studies have shown that lactate analysis has similar or better predictive values compared with pH analysis to measure hypoxia in the detection of short term neonatal morbidity. The specimen can be obtained in cord blood or fetal scalp. This term was based on, but not limited to, the Lactate Pro POCT.

Part Descriptions

LP15686-6   Lactate
Lactate is produced via the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) during fermentation. Elevated urine lactic acid levels are found in patients with multiple carboxylase deficiency, lactic acidosis, dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase deficiency, PDH complex (E1, E2,E3),oxidative phosphorylation and respiratory chain defects (e.g., MERRF, MELAS, Kearns-Sayre), Crebs acid cycle defects, gluconeogenesis defects (pyruvate carboxylase, fructose-1,6-dihphosphatase, glycogen storage I disorder), short-branched chain acyl-CoA DH deficiency, severe MAD deficiency, VLCAD deficiency, GA I ,other organic acidurias (MMA,PA,IVA), citrullinemia, glycerol kinase deficiency, HMG-CoA lyase deficiency, or EMA aciduria.

LP15686-6   Lactate
Lactic acid is chiral and has two optical isomers. One is known as L-(+)-lactic acid or (S)-lactic acid and the other, its mirror image, is D-(−)-lactic acid or (R)-lactic acid. The L isomer is the biologic one. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License. See http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ for details.
