Effects of Storage on Lactate in Blood Samples

Completed

Conditions studied: HIV Infections

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine whether laboratory storage of samples affects the amount of lactate over 3 years. Lactate is a natural substance normally present in the body. Lactate levels can go up for many different reasons, including treatment with nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor drugs. This study will help researchers know if stored blood samples can be used to test lactate levels.
