Sepsis is a clinical syndrome due to infection and manifests as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. In septic conditions, large amounts of lactate can be produced because of increased aerobic or anaerobic lactate production combined with decreased lactate clearance. Measurement of lactate levels is useful for detecting the presence of tissue hypoxia that is still not clearly visible so that therapy can be given earlier and clinician can monitor response to therapy. Increased lactate levels are also associated with decreased patient survival. A number of tools in the laboratory can be used to measure lactate level, including clinical chemistry analyzer, point of care testing (POCT) analyzer and blood gas analyzer. Methods for the examination of lactate are enzymatic, including the use of lactate oxidase and lactate dehydrogenase enzymes. Lactate plays an important role in the diagnosis of severe sepsis, as a prognostic indicator and monitoring response to therapy. Abstrak Sepsis merupakan suatu sindrom klinis akibat infeksi dan bermanifestasi sebagai systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Sepsis merupakan penyebab utama morbiditas dan mortalitas pada pasien yang dirawat di rumah sakit. Pada kondisi sepsis, laktat dapat dihasilkan dalam jumlah yang besar oleh karena peningkatan produksi laktat secara aerob atau anaerob dan dikombinasi dengan penurunan klirens laktat. Pengukuran kadar laktat berguna untuk mendeteksi adanya hipoksia jaringan yang masih belum terlihat jelas sehingga dapat diberikan terapi lebih awal dan memantau respons terapi. Peningkatan kadar laktat juga berhubungan dengan penurunan kemampuan bertahan hidup pasien. Sejumlah alat di laboratorium dapat digunakan untuk melakukan pemeriksaan laktat di antaranya alat kimia klinik otomatis, alat point of care testing (POCT) dan alat blood gas analyzer. Metode untuk pemeriksaan laktat adalah enzimatik di antaranya menggunakan enzim laktat oksidase dan laktat dehidrogenase. Laktat berperan penting dalam diagnosis sepsis berat, sebagai indikator prognosis dan pemantauan respons terapi.
