Life-threatening reversible acidosis caused by alcohol abuse.

Philip D Shull1, Jayson Rapoport.   

Abstract

BACKGROUND: A 52-year-old man with a history of alcohol dependency was admitted to the emergency room with life-threatening anion gap metabolic acidosis. He admitted to drinking large quantities of alcohol during the previous day. INVESTIGATIONS: Physical examination, blood and urine analyses, including calculation of his anion gap and plasma osmolal gap, and measurement of serum alcohol levels. DIAGNOSIS: Severe but rapidly reversible lactic acidosis and associated alcohol-induced ketoacidosis. MANAGEMENT: Intravenous thiamine, intravenous fluids and bicarbonate.
