You wouldn't base a diagnosis of mitochondrial cytopathy on lactate levels

alone.

Most all labs have their own levels for all tests. You have to use lab norms.

There

are lots of reasons lactate levels could be high, most of them have nothing to

do

with mito. Fighting and squirming and the tourniquet alone could cause a mild

rise

in lactate levels.
