The content of lactic acid in the blood with hypertension

According to Kogan-Yasny and Genes, the content of lactic acid in the blood during hypertension rises to 25-45 mg%. Gefter in all cases of hypertension found an increased content of lactic acid in 41.6% of cases in the range of 13-25%, in 5.6% more than 25 mg% and in some cases up to 60 mg%. Idelchik, during the blockade of Leningrad, established an increased content of lactic acid in the blood both in hypertensive patients (78 out of 92) with manifestations of sclerosis and without them. A persistent increase in lactic acid in the blood was observed in severe forms of hypertension complicated by circulatory failure. Rodov and Anguladze also observed an increase in lactic acid in hypertension and attributed this phenomenon to circulatory disorders and insufficient oxygen supply to tissues. Perchik investigated lactic acid in 46 patients with various forms of hypertension and in all cases found increased numbers, the lowest - with neurocirculatory, "autonomic nervous hypertension", the highest - with hypertension with heart failure.
