[Lactic acidosis shock. Report of a clinical case].
Lactic acidosis is a severe metabolic disorder with multiple pathogenesis; biguanides increase serum lactate. The authors describe a case of phenformin-associated acidosis enhanced by predisposing conditions (dilated cardiomyopathy, renal failure, hypothyroidism). Causative mechanisms and consequences on production/clearance lactic acid cycle are discussed. The benefits of hemodialysis and inotropic therapy (dobutamine) are emphasized. Treatment of critically ill patients must be designed to avoid increase in serum lactate.
