Can albuterol be blamed for lactic acidosis?
Albuterol is an uncommonly recognized culprit in causing lactic acidosis. While treating asthmatics, lactic acidosis creates a paradoxical situation in which, despite improvement in bronchospasm, patients look more dyspneic as a compensatory mechanism for metabolic acidosis. This might lead to misinterpretation of the situation with increased albuterol dosing, creating a sort of vicious cycle u...
متن کاملType B lactic acidosis in solid malignancies.
BACKGROUND Type B lactic acidosis is thought to be a rare complication of malignancy. It was first described in patients with acute leukaemia by Field et al. in 1963. Since then, it has been observed more often, in particular in haematological malignancies and rarely in solid tumours. METHODS Previously reported cases of lactic acidosis in solid malignancy are reviewed. In addition, we report...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation in an asthmatic patient with albuterol-induced lactic acidosis.
Asthma is a highly prevalent chronic respiratory disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Short-acting beta 2-agonists induce bronchodilation and usually are prescribed as a rescue medication. They are recognized as a cause of hyperlactatemia and, less frequently, lactic acidosis. Short-acting beta 2-agonists are also known for their potentially adverse cardiovascular effects, such as at...
متن کاملExtreme lactic acidosis type B associated with metformin treatment
The elimination of metformin is exclusively through the kidneys and elevated plasma concentrations can cause lactic acidosis. We report a case of severe lactic acidosis (pH 6.60) occuring with ostensibly normal therapeutic doses of metformin in the setting of acute renal failure. Continuous veno-venous haemodiafiltration decreased plasma metformin concentrations from 266 lmol/L at presentation ...
