Overview
Lactic acidosis is one of the most common causes of high anion gap metabolic acidosis and is usually associated with a serum lactate levels above 4 mmol/L. Reduced oxygen tension shunts glycolysis towards pyruvate production, which in turn leads to lactate accumulation since pyruvate can no longer undergo aerobic metabolism.
