Lactate and pyruvate concentrations in capillary blood from newborns.
Using high pressure liquid chromatography on strong cation exchange column, we analyzed capillary blood from 141 healthy full-term newborns for lactate and pyruvate concentrations. Total range of lactate was 367-3245 mumol/l and reference interval (mean +/- 2 SD) was 260-2212 mumol/l. Total range of pyruvate was 10-141 mumol/l and reference interval (10th/90th percentile) was 12-71 mumol/l.
