Patients with pathologically increased sera beta-hydroxybutyrate and lactate following glucose loading test (GLT). Patients 13–16 had both increased b-OH-b (beta-hydroxybutyrate) and lactate. Values for b-OH-b are in mmol/L, while those for lactate are in mg/dL. According to the kit employed for measurement of these metabolites, pathological values for b-OH-b pathological are considered >1.5 mmol/L, while pathological levels of lactate are considered as those >15 mg/dL. Pathological results for post-GLT lactate are those that exceed 30% of the pre-GLT lactate value.
