Research progress of blood lactate level in the treatment of patients with liver failure
Healthy liver is the main metabolic organ of lactate,and the level of lactate in patients with liver failure is increased.A number of domestic and foreign studies have confirmed that blood lactate level or lactate clearance rate has important value in the prognosis of patients with liver failure,and a new prognostic model containing lactate indicators such as liver injury and failure assessment and AARC score has been con-structed.Lactate can also improve the effect of existing prognostic models.In addition,there is a correlation between lactate and complications in patients with liver failure.At the same time,it is also expected to provide new treatment targets for patients with liver failure by increasing lactate clearance rate,and generally reduce the mortality of patients with liver failure.This article reviews the research progress of blood lactate level in the treatment of patients with liver failure.
