- Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality internationally Early spotting and .interventions are essential to ensure better patient's outcome. Lactate concentration in septic patients is of particularprognostic value in predicting septic shock and mortality.AIM:- The present study was intended to evaluate the serum Lactate levels on the basis of severity rate in patientssuffering of sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock.MATERIAL & METHOD:- 100 patients diagnosed for sepsis were enrolled for the study and they were grouped assepsis (n=30), severe sepsis (n=37)and septic shock (n=33). On the basis of survival rate serum Lactate levels in patientswith sepsis were estimated in all the 3 categories of subjects according to the inclusion criteria. A p-Value of ≤0.05 wereconsidered as statistically significant.RESULT:- In the present study when the lactate levels were evaluated among all the three categories, it was observedthat the Lactate levels were found to be statistically significant (p-value <0.0001). Lactic acid evaluated on the basis ofsurvival rate was also found to be statistically significant with the p-Value 0.015.CONCLUSION:- Lactic acid could be utilized as a reliable marker to assess prognosis at the initial phase of presentationbecause its initial evaluation shows good predictability in mortality prediction in sepsis patients.
