Metformin-induced lactic acidosis

PulmCrit (EMCrit)
IBCC chapter & cast - April 11, 2019 - By Farkas J
"Metformin poisoning and lactic acidosis has always been murky. For years there was debate about whether metformin-induced lactic acidosis exists (short answer: it obviously does). However, for an individual patient, it can still be confusing sorting out the contribution of metformin to their critical illness. A recent re-definition of the condition clarifies things a bit, but substantial confusion persists regarding how to diagnose and treat these patients."
