Laktatacidoser

Laktatacidoser, also known as lactic acidosis, is a medical condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of lactic acid in the body. Lactic acid is a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism, which occurs when the body's demand for energy exceeds the supply of oxygen. This condition can result from various factors, including strenuous exercise, certain medications, metabolic disorders, and severe infections. Symptoms of laktatacidoser may include fatigue, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, and in severe cases, confusion, seizures, or coma. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests to measure lactic acid levels and assess kidney function. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause, such as improving oxygen supply, managing medications, or treating infections. In some cases, supportive care may be necessary to stabilize the patient until the underlying condition resolves. Laktatacidoser is a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention to prevent complications and improve outcomes.
