Lactic Acidosis
Symptoms and Signs of Lactic Acidosis
Symptoms and signs of lactic acidosis are dominated by those of the underlying disorder (eg, shock in Type A, toxin ingestion in Type B). Neurologic symptoms, including confusion, ataxia, and slurred speech, occur after a high-carbohydrate ingestion and are characteristic of D-lactic acidosis.
