A healthy result should fall into the range 0 - 6.4 mcg/mg creatinine.
Pyruvate feeds into the citric acid cycle & converts into acetyl CoA. Pyruvate is formed from carbohydrate via glucose or glycogen & secondarily from fats (glycerol) & glycogenic amino acids.
Nutrient associations:
Vitamins B1, B3, B5, Lipoic acid
Metabolic pathway:
Anaerobic energy production

Treatment considerations if low:
Elevated by a number of nonspecific factors, including vigorous exercise, bacterial overgrowth of the GI tract, shock, poor perfusion, B-vitamin deficiency, mitochondrial dysfunction or damage, and anemia, among others. High pyruvic acid indicates the possibility of an inborn error of metabolism increases as the value exceeds 100 mmol/mol creatinine.
