PYRUVATE
What does PYRUVATE measure?
This test measures pyruvate, a substance involved in how the body converts food into energy. It may be used along with other laboratory findings to help evaluate certain metabolic or mitochondrial disorders, unexplained changes in acid-base balance, or conditions affecting energy production. Results are interpreted in clinical context, often together with related tests such as lactate.
