It develops as a result of an imbalance between lactate production and utilization. Malignancies are a relatively uncommon cause between lactate production and utilization.

متن کاملD-lactic acidosis: A rare cause of metabolic acidosis.
La acidosis por D-lactato es una causa muy poco frecuente de acidosis metabólica. Su incidencia es desconocida, pero probablemente sea más común de lo supuesto1. En los últimos años se ha descrito con más frecuencia, debido al incremento de la supervivencia de pacientes con síndrome de intestino corto (SIC), y al desarrollo de los programas de nutrición parenteral domiciliaria (NPD)2.

متن کاملA Cause of Lactic Acidosis and Hypoglycemia
a high carbohydrate diet resulted in hypoglycemia (plasma glucose 40 mg/100 ml), lactic acidosis (6-10 mM), and a rise in plasma alanine. Glucagon produced a glycemic response after 6 hr, but not after 18 hr fasting. Intravenous galactose increased plasma glucose (A 45 mg/100 ml) but intravenous fructose, glycerol, and alanine caused a 40-50% fall in plasma glucose and a significant rise in lac...
متن کاملPyruvate carboxylase deficiency: An underestimated cause of lactic acidosis
Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is a biotin-containing mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate, thereby being involved in gluconeogenesis and in energy production through replenishment of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle with oxaloacetate. PC deficiency is a very rare metabolic disorder. We report on a new patient affected by the moderate form (the American ty...
