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.
What are some symptoms of a lactic acid buildup? Lactic acidosis can also result from certain diseases, including sepsis, cancer, AIDS, respiratory failure and kidney failure, as stated by MedlinePlus. Metformin, a drug that is prescribed for diabetes treatment, can also lead to lactic acidosis. The build up of lactic acid in the blood occurs when the level of oxygen reduces. Common symptoms include nausea and fatigue. This condition can be treated by treating the health problem that is causing it.
