Severe lactic acidosis reversed by thiamine within 24 hours
iamine is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a pivotal role in carbohydrate metabolism. In acute defi ciency, pyruvate accumulates and is metabolized to lactate, and chronic defi ciency may cause polyneuropathy and Wernicke encephalopathy. Classic symptoms include mental status change, ophthalmoplegia, and ataxia but are present in only a few patients [1]. Critically ill patients are prone to t...
متن کاملType B lactic acidosis secondary to thiamine deficiency in a child with malignancy.
Type B lactic acidosis is an underrecognized clinical entity that must be distinguished from type A (hypoxic) lactic acidosis. We present the case of a 4-year-old boy with medulloblastoma who presented with lactic acidosis in the setting of septic shock. His hyperlactatemia persisted to high levels even after his hemodynamic status improved. After administration of intravenous thiamine, his lac...
متن کاملThiamine Deficiency Leading to Refractory Lactic Acidosis in a Pediatric Patient
Thiamine plays a critical role in energy metabolism. Critically ill children and adults may develop thiamine deficiency with ultimately increased mortality due to potentially irreversible consequences of severe type B lactic acidosis. We report a case of an unvaccinated term neonate with malignant pertussis requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and continuous renal replacement therapy, ...
متن کاملLactic Acidosis
Lactic acidosis is a form of metabolic acidosis due to the inadequate clearance of lactic acid from the blood. Lactate is a byproduct of anaerobic respiration and is normally cleared from the blood by the liver, kidney and skeletal muscle. Lactic acidosis occurs when the body's buffering systems are overloaded and tends to cause a pH of ≤7.25 with plasma lactate ≥5 mmol/L. It is usually caused ...
متن کاملLactic acidosis.
A 33-year-old male was admitted to Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center for evaluation of weight loss, dyspnea, and fever. He had factor Vill-deficient hemophilia and had been chronically ill over several months with a cough productive of scanty sputum, weight loss of 15 Ibs, low-grade fever, and progressive dyspnea on exertion. The medical history was notable for right total hip replaceme...
