Test Name: Pyruvate Test

Purpose:
The pyruvate test measures the level of pyruvate in the blood, providing important information about cellular metabolism, energy production, and the body's ability to manage glucose. This test is often used to diagnose and monitor metabolic disorders, such as mitochondrial diseases, lactic acidosis, and other conditions that affect how the body processes energy.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (serum).

Fasting Requirements:

• Fasting is generally required for accurate results. It is recommended to fast for 8-12 hours before the test to avoid interference from recent food intake that can alter pyruvate levels.

Preparation:

• Avoid eating or drinking anything except water during the fasting period.
• Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may affect the results.

Collection Method:

• A blood sample is drawn from a vein, usually in the arm, using standard phlebotomy techniques.
