Abstract Type 1 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a complication with grave outcomes, and renal replacement therapy (RRT) is an effective rescue therapy. Serum lactate has been correlated with the risk of mortality in patients with sepsis. However, the association between serum lactate level and the prognosis of type 1 CRS patients requiring RRT is unknown. We prospectively enrolled 500 type 1 CRS patients who received RRT from August 2011 to January 2018. The 90-day mortality rate was 52.8% and the incidence rate of RRT independence was 34.8%. Lower pre-dialysis lactate was correlated with a higher rate of dialysis withdrawal and lower rate of mortality. A generalized additive model showed that 4.2 mmol/L was an adequate cut-off value of lactate to predict renal recovery. Taking mortality as a competing risk, Cox proportional hazards analysis indicated that a low lactate level (≦ 4.2 mmol/L) was an independent prognostic factor for the possibility of dialysis withdrawal, as also shown in external validation. The interaction of quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score and lactate was associated with dialysis dependence in a disease severity-dependent manner. In summary, we identified that pre-dialysis serum lactate level could predict the possibility of dialysis withdrawal in type 1 CRS patients.

Objectives. To correlate the initial and maximal lactate levels with the occurrence of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and survival in patients treated with extracorporeal life support (ECLS). Design. Retrospective chart review. Setting. Pediatric intensive care unit. Patients. Eighty-two neonatal patients placed on ECLS for respiratory failure due to sepsis, meconium aspiration, or persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn. Measurements. The initial lactate level measured within 6 hours of initiating ECLS and the maximal lactate level measured throughout the ECLS course were collected. Lactate levels were described as mean lactate ± SE (mM). Head ultrasound reports and survival were reviewed. Platelet counts and activated clotting times (ACTs) were examined. Results. The mean initial and maximal lactate levels were higher in ECLS patients who developed ICH (initial: 10 ± 1.7 mM vs 6.4 ± 0.8 mM, p = .05 and maximal: 12.4 ± 2.5 mM vs 7.9 ± 0.8 mM, p = .04). Initial and maximal lactate levels were also elevated in nonsurvivors (initial: 11.7 ± 3 mM vs 6.4 ± 0.7 mM, p = .01 and maximal: 14.8 ± 3.3 mM vs 7.8 ± 0.8 mM, P < .01). Platelet counts and ACT did not differ in patients with and without ICH. Conclusions. Lactate is a useful marker for the development of ICH in ECLS patients. In addition, elevated lactates during ECLS identify a subgroup of patients with poor outcome. Prospective studies are needed to determine whether the incorporation of this information into pre-ECLS and ECLS management will decrease the occurrence of ICH and improve survival.

Objectives: Myocardial infarction is the most common form of coronary heart disease, the commonest cause of worldwide mortality. The present biochemical markers take atleast 6 hours for elevation following an episode of myocardial infarction. There is a need for sensitive marker for early diagnosis and prognosis. Lactate, the end product of anaerobic glycolysis is found to be elevated in many critical illnesses. Thus the study was undertaken to assess the levels of serum lactate in patients with myocardial infarction and to correlate it with the frequently used enzymatic markers for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, i.e creatine kinase – MB and lactate dehydrogenase Methods: Fifty age and sex matched controls and fty cases of myocardial infarction were included in the study. Serum creatine kinase – MB, lactate dehydrogenase and lactate were estimated in these subjects. Results:The serum lactate levels were signicantly higher among cases when compared to controls. The serum lactate levels positively correlated with serum creatine kinase – MB among cases but not with lactate dehydrogenase. Conclusions: We conclude that serum lactate is altered in patients with myocardial infarction and may be considered as a prognostic risk factor in these patients. Further studies are needed to nd the cut-off value of serum lactate for assistance in the hemodynamic management of these patients.

Metformin (MET) is the first-line drug for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, MET increases blood lactate levels in patients with T2DM. Lactate possesses proinflammatory properties and causes insulin resistance (IR). Oxamate (OXA), a lactate dehydrogenase inhibitor, can decrease tissue lactate production and blood lactate levels. This study was conducted to examine the effects of the combination of OXA and MET on inflammation, and IR in diabetic db/db mice. Supplementation of OXA to MET led to lowered tissue lactate production and serum lactate levels compared to MET alone, accompanied with further decreased tissue and blood levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, along with better insulin sensitivity, beta-cell mass, and glycemic control in diabetic db/db mice. These results show that OXA enhances the anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects of MET through the inhibition of tissue lactate production in db/db mice.
