Overview
Lactic acidosis is a condition in which there is an excessive production of lactic acid in the body. It is often caused by an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, kidney failure, or liver disease, or the use of certain medications, such as metformin or alcohol. Symptoms of lactic acidosis are nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. If left untreated, it can cause death. Treatment of lactic acidosis includes correcting the underlying medical condition and providing supportive care such as electrolyte replacement. Early intervention is important as it can help reduce the risk of long-term complications. Lactic acidosis can also be prevented by avoiding certain medications and alcohol, and by maintaining good health.
