Abstract
Four cases of lactic acidosis in phenformin-treated diabetics are presented. Blood lactate before treatment was 5.7, 9.4, 10.7 and 17.8 mM/l, respectively. Treatment with glucose, insulin and bicarbonate resulted in correction of acidosis and hyperlactataemia. This therapy is recommended in phenformin-induced lactic acidosis.Keywords
