Overview

Lactic acidosis is one of the most common causes of high anion gap metabolic acidosis and is usually associated with a serum lactate levels above 4 mmol/L. Reduced oxygen tension shunts glycolysis towards pyruvate production, which in turn leads to lactate accumulation since pyruvate can no longer undergo aerobic metabolism.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
