Question for RH on lactate/pyruvate ratio

[Guest guest]

RH, I think you are the resident expert on lactate/pyruvate ratio, right?

:-) I'm hoping you can refresh my memory on how one calculates this ratio.

Afraid I'm math-challenged and this kind of thing just does not stick in my

brain. I know the ratio can be " abnormal " even though both numbers are

within normal range, but can't recall the method of calculation. My

sort-of-new neuro who is actively learning about mito wanted to retest

lactate, pyruvate, and other markers and we got some out of norm results,

but no ratio was given. We will retest in 2 months to see if we get similar

results. Meanwhile, I'm curious........

Tks.
