It is present in blood and many tissues, even in healthy people. In cardiovascular care, Lactate is commonly used as a lab marker of stress, low blood flow, or low oxygen delivery. Clinicians often follow Lactate over time to understand whether circulation and metabolism are improving or worsening."}
