Lactic Acidosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Lactic acidosis is a disturbance of the blood's chemical balance that occurs when lactic acid accumulates in the body faster than it can be eliminated, which makes the blood too acidic.
Common causes: It can arise from a lack of oxygen in the tissues, serious infections, liver or kidney problems, or as an effect of certain medications and underlying metabolic diseases.
Common symptoms: Rapid breathing, marked weakness, nausea, abdominal pain, and a feeling of extreme fatigue that does not improve with rest.
Which specialist evaluates it? Depending on the origin, it may be treated by the endocrinologist, when it is linked to metabolism, or the gastroenterologist if it relates to the liver. If you have these signs, a timely medical evaluation will allow the underlying cause to be identified and the correct management to be guided.
