a buildup of lactic acid (a byproduct of carbohydrate metabolism) in bodily tissues.
Acidosis due to the buildup of lactic acid (from glucose) when it is created faster than it can be metabolized. The signs are unusually deep and rapid breathing, vomiting, and abdominal pain. It can occur in out-of-control diabetes, shock, hypoxia, or anoxia.
High blood levels of lactic acid, a substance involved in metabolism. Lactic acidosis is a rare side-effect of nucleoside analogues.
The buildup of lactic acid in the body. The cells make lactic acid when they use glucose (sugar) for energy. If too much lactic acid stays in the body, the balance tips and the person begins to feel ill. The signs of lactic acidosis are deep and rapid breathing, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Lactic acidosis may be caused by diabetic ketoacidosis or liver or kidney disease.
High levels of lactic acid in the blood, which is potentially fatal. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and shortness of breath. The use of nucleoside analogs can contribute to lactic acidosis.
caused by very high levels of lactic acid; lactic acidosis is a serious, sometimes life-threatening condition that can occur when the body's tissues do not get enough oxygen. Levels of lactic acid can increase when the liver is severely damaged or diseased, because the liver normally breaks down lactic acid.
Acidosis (too much acid in the body) due to the buildup of lactic acid in the body. Lactic acidois occurs when cells make lactic acid (from glucose ) faster than it can be metabolized. The key signs of lactic acidosis include unusually deep and rapid breathing , vomiting, and abdominal pain . See the entire definition of Lactic acidosis
a buildup of lactic acid in the body. It can be caused by nucleoside analogues, which may damage the mitochondria (the powerhouses of cells). Severe lactic acidosis can be life-threatening.
a rare but deadly metabolic disorder. Symptoms can include weight loss, fatigue, malaise, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, shortness of breath and low SERUM bicarbonate levels. NUCLEOSIDE ANALOGS have been associated with mitochondrial toxicity, which can lead to lactic acidosis.
a serious condition caused by the build up of lactic acid which is produced from glucose when there is not enough oxygen. Similar effects as ketoacidosis
A buildup of lactic acid in the blood, accompanied by low blood pH. This is a potentially fatal condition characterized by nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, muscle weakness, and shortness of breath. Also referred to as lactic acidemia.
A condition involving dangerously high levels of lactic acid in the blood. While lactic acidosis is rare, increased levels of lactic acid are a fairly common side effect of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
Rare but potentially lethal condition in which blood lactic acid levels increase (see Diabetes).
An accumulation of lactic acid in the blood, whatever the cause. Any disease that leads to tissue hypoxia, exercise, hyperventilation, or some drugs (e.g. oral hypoglycemic agents) may cause this condition.
Lactic acidosis is a condition caused by the buildup of lactic acid in the body. It leads to acidification of the blood (acidosis), and is considered a distinct form of metabolic acidosis.
