From: Cerebrospinal fluid lactate is associated with multiple sclerosis disease progression
CSF lactate levels correlate with future measures of disease severity in RRMS patients. Lactate levels in CSF collected during diagnostic LP in all MS cases, denoted with a circle, in relation to a Bayesian risk estimate for multiple sclerosis (BREMS), b progression index (PI), and c multiple sclerosis severity scale (MSSS) scores, after median 7Â years of disease duration. The correlation between lactate CSF levels and BREMS however lost its significance after correcting the results for the effect of age and gender
