Measures blood pyruvate to assess energy metabolism and help find causes of lactic acidosis or metabolic problems.
The serum pyruvate test measures the amount of pyruvate in your blood. Pyruvate is produced when your body breaks down sugar for energy. It sits at a key junction between making energy and making lactate. Measuring pyruvate helps doctors understand how well cells generate energy. It is often used when lactic acidosis, unexplained fatigue, muscle weakness, or developmental delays occur. Doctors usually order it with a lactate test and other metabolic studies. Abnormal results can point to enzyme problems, mitochondrial disorders, severe infection, or liver disease, and they help guide diagnosis and treatment choices.
Do not eat or drink anything except water for 8-12 hours before the test
The SERUM PYRUVATE TEST test evaluates various parameters related to the different components. Here are the main parameters that are checked in the test:
SERUM PYRUVATE TEST is often ordered with a lactate measurement as part of metabolic or mitochondrial evaluations. Doctors may request it when patients have unexplained fatigue, muscle weakness, developmental delays, seizures, or signs of lactic acidosis. It helps diagnose conditions like pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency, mitochondrial disease, severe infection, or liver dysfunction. Abnormal levels can result from low oxygen, infections, certain medications or alcohol, and inherited metabolic disorders, and family history of metabolic disease may prompt testing.
