PYRUVATE
A test to evaluate metabolic function and energy production.
Offered by other lab partners
Sample Type:
blood
Fasting Required:
No
Description
The pyruvate test measures the level of pyruvate in the blood. Pyruvate is a key metabolite involved in energy production and is a product of glucose metabolism. High or low levels of pyruvate may indicate metabolic disorders, mitochondrial diseases, or other conditions affecting cellular energy production.
