A 43-year-old woman was brought to the hospital with severe metabolic acidosis (pH 6.56, bicarbonate 3 mmol/L, and lactate 18.4 mmol/L) and a serum creatinine of 162 μmol/L with a serum potassium of 7.8 mmol/L. A delayed diagnosis of metformin-associated lactic acidosis was made, and she was treated with tris-hydroxymethyl aminomethane (THAM) and renal replacement therapy (RRT). Following a complete recovery, she admitted to ingesting 180 tablets (90 grams) of metformin. Her peak serum metformin concentration was 170 μg/mL (therapeutic range 1-2 μg/mL). Our case demonstrates an intentional metformin overdose resulting in lactic acidosis in a nondiabetic patient who was successfully treated with THAM and RRT.
一名43岁女性因严重代谢性酸中毒(pH值6.56,碳酸氢根3 mmol/L,乳酸18.4 mmol/L)、血清肌酐162 μmol/L以及血清钾7.8 mmol/L被送往医院。二甲双胍相关性乳酸酸中毒诊断延迟,随后她接受了三羟甲基氨基甲烷(THAM)和肾脏替代治疗(RRT)。完全康复后,她承认服用了180片(90克)二甲双胍。她的血清二甲双胍峰值浓度为170 μg/mL(治疗范围1 - 2 μg/mL)。我们的病例显示,一名非糖尿病患者故意过量服用二甲双胍导致乳酸酸中毒,经THAM和RRT成功治疗。
