A member asked:

Low pyruvic acid mg/dl, low pyruvic acid blood and low lactate plasma? what does this mean? any one have any clue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It means you do not have an inherited disorder of metabolism such as a mitochondrial disorder. Not quite sure why you had it checked, unless you have trouble with waking or balance, seizures, or loss of sensation.
