Lactic acidosis is a type of metabolic acidosis that occurs when lactic acids build up in your blood. Your body produces more lactate when your tissues are deprived of oxygen. Lactate can also build up if your livers and kidneys aren’t able to metabolize it efficiently.
Lactic acidosis occurs when a person’s body either produces too much lactate, or underuses lactate. Lactic acidosis can be caused by conditions such as heart disease, HIV, cancer, and more.
This activity reviews the etiology, presentation, evaluation, and management of lactic acidosis, and reviews the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating, diagnosing, and managing the condition.
Lactic acidosis occurs when lactic acid accumulates in the bloodstream. Learn more from WebMD about the symptoms, causes, and treatments for lactic acidosis.
Lactic acidosis refers to the process leading to the production of lactate by anaerobic metabolism. It increases hydrogen ion concentration tending to the state of acidemia or low pH. The result can be detected with high levels of lactate and low levels of bicarbonate.
Lactic acidosis occurs when lactic acid production exceeds lactic acid clearance. The increase in lactate production is usually caused by impaired tissue oxygenation, either from decreased oxygen delivery or a defect in mitochondrial oxygen utilization.
Lactic acidosis occurs when the body produces too much lactic acid and cannot metabolize it quickly enough. The condition can be a medical emergency. The onset...
Lactic acidosis is a health condition characterized by elevated lactate levels in the body. These high lactate levels may result from increased cell production, decreased clearance (mainly within the liver), or some combination.
Lactic acidosis is a high anion gap metabolic acidosis due to elevated blood lactate. Lactic acidosis results from overproduction of lactate, decreased metabolism of lactate, or both.
Lactic acidosis refers to lactic acid build up in the bloodstream. Lactic acid is produced when oxygen levels become low in cells within the areas of the body where metabolism takes place or in response to sympathetic overactivity related to epinephrine-type substances or exercise.
