STUDY OF SERUM LACTATE LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH SEPSIS ON THE BASIS OF SURVIVAL AND NON-SURVIVAL

INTRODUCTION:- Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality internationally Early spotting and .
interventions are essential to ensure better patient's outcome. Lactate concentration in septic patients is of particular
prognostic value in predicting septic shock and mortality.
AIM:- The present study was intended to evaluate the serum Lactate levels on the basis of severity rate in patients
suffering of sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock.
MATERIAL & METHOD:- 100 patients diagnosed for sepsis were enrolled for the study and they were grouped as
sepsis (n=30), severe sepsis (n=37)and septic shock (n=33). On the basis of survival rate serum Lactate levels in patients
with sepsis were estimated in all the 3 categories of subjects according to the inclusion criteria. A p-Value of ≤0.05 were
considered as statistically significant.
RESULT:- In the present study when the lactate levels were evaluated among all the three categories, it was observed
that the Lactate levels were found to be statistically significant (p-value <0.0001). Lactic acid evaluated on the basis of
survival rate was also found to be statistically significant with the p-Value 0.015.
CONCLUSION:- Lactic acid could be utilized as a reliable marker to assess prognosis at the initial phase of presentation
because its initial evaluation shows good predictability in mortality prediction in sepsis patients.
