Diagnostic Accuracy of Blood Lactate-to-Pyruvate Molar Ratio in the Differential Diagnosis of Congenital Lactic Acidosis.[labtestsonline.org]
Since increased lactate production coincides with acidosis, lactate measurement is an excellent ‘indirect’ marker for the metabolic condition of the cell.[unm.edu]

Leigh's Disease
CNS examination showed increased tone in the lower limbs.[ijponline.biomedcentral.com]
Lactate levels are constantly increased in cerebrospinal fluid, and often in the blood.[orpha.net]
Laboratory analysis shows metabolic acidosis with elevated blood, CSF lactate, and pyruvate concentrations [3] .[ijri.org]

Panic Attacks
When sodium lactate or carbon dioxide levels increase, the brain mistakenly believes you are suffocating and sends signals to increase your breathing rate to get more oxygen[health.howstuffworks.com]
The lactate model focuses on symptom production by postulated aberrant metabolic activity induced by lactate.[emedicine.medscape.com]
One hypothesis is that sodium lactate stimulates the amygdala and causes panic attacks.[minddisorders.com]

Urinary Tract Infection
Increasing rates of antibiotic resistance ( 9 – 12 ) and other adverse effects from antibiotic exposure make this approach important to consider.[ajcn.nutrition.org]
