A Lactate Test will not diagnose the cause of excess lactate levels, but it can help determine if lactic acidosis is the cause of the patientâs symptoms. Other tests may be necessary to diagnose an underlying condition. The test may be ordered at prescribed intervals to monitor lactate levels.The Lactate Test is also known as Lactic Acid, Plasma Lactate, and L-Lactate. Patients will be instructed to fast prior to this blood test and be in a resting state.Patients should also not be on any intravenous infusion that affects the acid-base balance. Results will be available within three to four days.he test may be ordered at prescribed intervals to monitor lactate levels.
