L-Lactic acid production also increases as a result of a toxic depression in the reaction rates of the citric acid cycle and altered intracellular redox state [21]. Methanol Methanol has wide application in commercially available solvents and is used for industrial and automotive purposes. Sources include windshield wiper fluid, paint remover or thinner, deicing fluid, canned heating sources, varnish, and shellac. Ingestion of methanol (wood alcohol) causes metabolic acidosis in addition to severe optic nerve and central nervous system manifestations resulting from its metabolism to formic acid from formaldehyde [15, 20].
Serum d-lactate levels of greater than 3 mmol/L confirm the diagnosis. Treatment with a low-carbohydrate diet and antibiotics (neomycin, vancomycin, or metronidazole) is often effective [12–15]. Ketoacidosis Diabetic Ketoacidosis Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is due to increased fatty acid metabolism and accumulation of ketoacids (acetoacetate and β-hydroxybutyrate) as a result of insulin deficiency or resistance and elevated glucagon levels. DKA is usually seen in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus upon cessation of insulin therapy or during an illness, such as an infection, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, or myocardial infarction, which increases insulin requirements acutely.
3 Etiologic Causes of Metabolic Acidosis I: The High Anion Gap Acidoses 21 d-Lactic Acidosis The typical manifestations of d-lactate acidosis are episodic encephalopathy and high AG acidosis in association with short bowel syndrome. d-Lactic acidosis has been described in patients with bowel obstruction, jejunal bypass, short bowel, or ischemic bowel disease. Ileus or stasis is associated with overgrowth of flora in the gastrointestinal tract, which is exacerbated by a high-carbohydrate diet [2].
