Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Adeline's has normal levels, but they said at the Mayo clinic that we should always have Lactic Acidosis levels checked when we go in the ER or admitted. She does have problems when she is sick with Lactic Acidosis, so now we check every illness. Hi-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 It goes up and down, usually up with any symptomatic episode and hopefully near normal between episodes. Fever or any kind of stress (like prolonged or aerobic exercise) will increase lactic acid. I can tell with my kid as she starts vomiting and loses all muscle tone, can't sit or stand. Usually the best treatment (for us) is hydration with lots of fluids to help her kidneys flush the system. Also the carnitor is supposed to help the body deal with the excess lactic acid, which in normal people is recycled and converted into useable byproducts by the mitochondria. kj mom to De-Arbra age 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
