lactic acid and Syncope

lactic acid has been researched along with Syncope in 7 studies

Lactic Acid: A normal intermediate in the fermentation (oxidation, metabolism) of sugar. The concentrated form is used internally to prevent gastrointestinal fermentation. (From Stedman, 26th ed)
2-hydroxypropanoic acid : A 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is propanoic acid in which one of the alpha-hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group.

Syncope: A transient loss of consciousness and postural tone caused by diminished blood flow to the brain (i.e., BRAIN ISCHEMIA). Presyncope refers to the sensation of lightheadedness and loss of strength that precedes a syncopal event or accompanies an incomplete syncope. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp367-9)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Differentiating epileptic seizures from other causes of Transient Loss of Consciousness (TLOC) remains a challenge in the Emergency Department (ED), where it may lead to erroneous administration of anti-epileptic drugs."2.82Utility of serum lactate on differential diagnosis of seizure-like activity: A systematic review and meta-analysis. ( Martinez, S; Patel, J; Pourmand, A; Tran, QK; Wright, H, 2022)
"A total of 383 cases of transient loss of consciousness were identified and categorized as tonic-clonic seizure (TCS), other seizure, syncope, or other cause, according to the final diagnosis in the electronic medical records system."1.62Prehospital lactate levels in blood as a seizure biomarker: A multi-center observational study. ( Axelsson, C; Edelvik Tranberg, A; Herlitz, J; Höglind, R; Magnusson, C; Wennberg, P; Zelano, J, 2021)
"Hypophosphatemia was recently reported as a potential marker of tonic-clonic (TC) seizures among patients with transitory loss of consciousness (TLOC)."1.56Hypophosphatemia compared to classical biomarkers of tonic clonic seizures. ( Barbella, G; Barras, P; Novy, J; Rossetti, AO, 2020)
"Regarding the first hour after the seizure, we identify a cut-off for serum lactate of 2."1.48Early postictal serum lactate concentrations are superior to serum creatine kinase concentrations in distinguishing generalized tonic-clonic seizures from syncopes. ( Brokmann, JC; Dafotakis, M; Heckelmann, J; Litmathe, J; Matz, O; Schulz, JB; Willmes, K; Zechbauer, S, 2018)
