There are two main reasons for an elevated lactate: the stress state and the shock state. The shock state is due to tissue hypoxia, seen in septic shock. We could use it to track treatment , and see if we can clear the lactate; decreased lactate levels are associated with a better outcome in adults. 2012; 33:1040–1045.
