PLEASE NOTE: Due to the complex pre-analytical requirements, Austin Pathology DOES NOT offer blood collection for this test. Clinicians are advised to review the clinical need for the test especially in the setting of a non-elevated lactate level. Where a clinician feels testing is warranted, and for paediatric patients, it is suggested patients contact Pathology at The Royal Childrens Hospital on 03 9345 5200. For adult patients, clinicians must contact the Chemical Pathologist (03) 9496 5140. Further information may be found on the VCGS website: https://www.vcgs.org.au/order/tests/660 |
