Notes for people accustomed to thinking in miles. To convert from km to miles divide by 8 and multiply by 5. To convert from miles to km divide by 5 and multiply by 8. So 80 km = 50 miles, 160 km = 100 miles.
Causes of Lactic Acidosis. Lactic Acidosis is caused if a person reaches the anaerobic threshold or lactate threshold. This is the upper limit of the ability of an individual's body to exercise. When a person exercises at a limit below the lactate threshold, very little lactic acid will be produced.
Lactic Acidosis. 1  A commonly encountered cause of elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis, particularly in the ICU is lactic acid. 2  In hypoxic states (low O2 supply) such as in strenuous muscle activity (seizure) or in low tissue perfusion states from circulatory failure, lactic acid is also produced anaerobically during glycolysis.
