Lactic acidosis (Type A) is common in critically ill patients and usually treated by correcting the underlying etiology. We present the case of a young female who presented with life-threatening lactic acidosis secondary to hematological malignancy. Timely initiation of hemodialysis was lifesaving. The case highlights the importance of considering Type B lactic acidosis (in this case secondary to a hematological malignancy) and also initiating renal replacement therapy when routine measures are ineffective.
A型乳酸性酸中毒在重症患者中很常见,通常通过纠正潜在病因来治疗。我们报告一例年轻女性患者,她因血液系统恶性肿瘤继发危及生命的乳酸性酸中毒。及时开始血液透析挽救了她的生命。该病例强调了考虑B型乳酸性酸中毒(在本病例中继发于血液系统恶性肿瘤)以及在常规措施无效时启动肾脏替代治疗的重要性。
