Release of Lactate by the Lung in Acute Lung Injury

open access: yesChest, 1997
The pathogenesis of hyperlactatemia during sepsis is poorly understood. We have previously described an increase in lactate concentration across the lung in the dog during early endotoxemia. Accordingly, we sought to determine if the lung releases lactate in humans and what relation this has with lung injury.We measured lactate concentrations across ...

Journal of Thoracic Imaging
Acute lung injury (ALI) is acute pulmonary inflammation with underlying pathology of disruption of the pulmonary vasculature endothelial and alveolar epithelial barriers. ALI is not an uncommon diagnosis and has a myriad of causes including pulmonary infection, (including sepsis), drugs, connective tissue disease, and polytrauma.

Microparticles and acute lung injury

American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2012
The pathophysiology of acute lung injury (ALI) and its most severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), is characterized by increased vascular and epithelial permeability, hypercoagulation and hypofibrinolysis, inflammation, and immune modulation.
