Blood L lactate concentration and anion gap were measured in 32 horses suspected of having metabolic acidosis. There was good linear correlation between these variables (r = 0.90791, P less than 0.0001) and both were good prognostic indicators. Anion gap was a good indicator of the presence but not the severity of L lactic acidosis and was a slightly better prognostic indicator. The ability to predict survival was not improved by the measurement of L lactate in addition to anion gap.
对32匹疑似患有代谢性酸中毒的马匹测量了血液中乳酸浓度和阴离子间隙。这些变量之间存在良好的线性相关性（r = 0.90791，P < 0.0001），且二者都是良好的预后指标。阴离子间隙是L型乳酸酸中毒存在与否的良好指标，但不是其严重程度的指标，且是一个稍好的预后指标。除阴离子间隙外，测量L乳酸并不能提高预测存活的能力。
