Type B Lactic Acidosis

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Nice case report in AJKD recently raised the issue of Type B Lactic Acidosis. Lactic acidosis occurs when there is excessive anaerobic glycolysis or decreased removal of lactate from the circulation. Classically, Type A lactic acidosis is related to tissue hypoperfusion resulting in an increase in anaerobic glycolysis. Type B lactic acidosis occurs despite the presence of sufficient oxygen for aerobic glycolysis. There are a number of important causes:

Drugs/Toxins
Metformin
Linezolid
Propofol
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
Salicylates
Isoniazid
Alcohol
Cyanide
Enzyme Deficiencies
Glucose-6-phosphatase
Pyruvate carboxylate
Pyruvate Dehydrogenase
Oxidative Phosphorylation Defects
Other Disorders
Kidney Failure
Liver Failure
Thiamine Deficiency
Malignancy

The case report in AJKD was a patient with myeloma who developed a severe lactic acidosis. The preference of tumor cells for anaerobic glycolysis has been known since the 1920s and is called the Warburg Effect. It is thought to be due to a combination of increased IGF and TGF-alpha production by tumor cells and thiamine deficiency which is common in patients with malignancies. The discussion in the case report gives a nice summary of the literature.
