Abstract
d-Lactic acidosis is an uncommon cause of acidosis that occurs in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS). Reduced intestinal absorption surface leads to carbohydrate malabsorption, fermented by abnormal colonic bacterial flora, resulting in elevated d-lactate levels. It should be suspected in SBS patients who exhibit typical neurological symptoms without other apparent causes, along with metabolic acidosis with normal l-lactate levels. Treatment involves correcting acidosis and managing bacterial overgrowth with non-absorbable antibiotics.
This report presents a case of a patient on teduglutide for SBS who experienced an episode of d-lactic acidosis. To date, there are no documented cases in the literature of similar episodes in adult patients undergoing therapy with GLP2 analogs.
期刊介绍:
Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición, SEEN) and the Spanish Society of Diabetes (Sociedad Española de Diabetes, SED), and was founded in 1954. The aim of the journal is to improve knowledge and be a useful tool in practice for clinical and laboratory specialists, trainee physicians, researchers, and nurses interested in endocrinology, diabetes, nutrition and related disciplines. It is an international journal published in Spanish (print and online) and English (online), covering different fields of endocrinology and metabolism, including diabetes, obesity, and nutrition disorders, as well as the most relevant research produced mainly in Spanish language territories. The quality of the contents is ensured by a prestigious national and international board, and by a selected panel of specialists involved in a rigorous peer review. The result is that only manuscripts containing high quality research and with utmost interest for clinicians and professionals related in the field are published. The Journal publishes Original clinical and research articles, Reviews, Special articles, Clinical Guidelines, Position Statements from both societies and Letters to the editor. Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición can be found at Science Citation Index Expanded, Medline/PubMed and SCOPUS.
