Acid-base disturbances such as lactic acidosis are typically first assessed using arterial blood gas tests. Testing of venous blood is also available as an alternative as they are effectively interchangeable. Normally resulting lactate concentrations are in the range indicated below: mg/dL mM Venous blood 4.5–19.8 0.5–2.2 Arterial blood 4.5–14.4 0.5–1.6 Lactic acidosis is classically defined as an elevated lactate together with pH < 7.35 and bicarbonate below 20 mmol/l, but this is not required as lactic acidosis may exist together with other acid-base abnormalities that may affect these two parameters.
