Abstract

Metformin-associated lactic acidosis is a rare side effect in metformin poisoning. There is conflicting data about mortality rates changing from 3% to 83%. We aimed to discuss a case thatdeveloped lactic acidosis and acute renal failure progressing to mortality due to metforminintoxication. A 33 year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency department, withnausea and vomiting after taking 30 tablets of 1000 mg metformin. In the 2nd hour of follow-up,patient was observed to develop lactic acidosis which did not recover despite the infusion replacement treatments and hemodialysis. Following the development of respiratory failure, undermechanical ventilation, the patient developed cardiac arrest at the 48th hour of her admission.In metformin intoxications, it should be remembered that acidosis deepens very quickly andcan progress with mortality despite optimal supportive therapy. More specific recommendations and further studies are required for the management and treatment of acute metforminassociated lactic acidosis.

Özet

Metformin ile ilişkili laktik asidoz, metformin zehirlenmesinde nadir görülen bir yan etkidir. Mortalite oranı hakkında %3’ten %83’e değişen çelişkili veriler mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada metformin zehirlenmesine bağlı laktik asidoz ve akut böbrek yetmezliği gelişen ve mortalite ile sonuçlanan bir olguyu tartışmayı amaçladık. 33 yaşında kadın hasta, 30 adet 1000 mg metformin tablet içtikten sonra acil servise bulantı ve kusma ile başvurdu. Takibinin 2. saatinde laktik asidoz geliştiği gözlendi, infüzyon replasman tedavilerine ve hemodiyalize rağmen metabolik asidozun derinleştiği görüldü. Solunum yetmezliği gelişen ve mekanik ventilasyon desteği verilen hastada, başvurusunun 48. saatinde kardiyak arrest gelişti. Metformin zehirlenmesine bağlı gelişen asidozun çok hızlı derinleştiği ve optimal destekleyici tedaviye rağmen mortaliteye ilerleyebileceği unutulmamalıdır. Akut metformin ilişkili laktik asidozun yönetimi ve tedavisinde daha spesifik önerilere ve daha ileri çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır
