as a monotherapy or with associated anti-diabetic agents and even insulin&#46; Clinical practice guidelines especially recommend its use in obese type 2 diabetic patients and have even started to recommend it in subjects with an altered fasting blood glucose&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6&#44;7</span> Following oral administration&#44; peak metformin plasma levels are reached after 2&#46;5 hours&#46; Its protein binding is insignificant&#44; its distribution volume is high and it is mainly excreted by the kidney&#46; These characteristics promote drug elimination using extrarenal depuration techniques&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Metformin&#8217;s main secondary effects are gastrointestinal &#40;anorexia&#44; nausea&#44; vomiting&#44; diarrhoea and abdominal pain&#41; and&#44; occasionally&#44; induces skin disorders or hypersensitivity reactions&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> Metformin-induced lactic acidosis is a rare complication&#44; but it is potentially very severe and its incidence is estimated to be 3 cases per 100&#160;000 person-years&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span> Its cause is not well known&#44; although it seems to alter the mitochondrial oxidative metabolism on one hand&#44; and increase the intestinal lactic acid production and decrease intestinal glucose absorption&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9-11</span> However&#44; a recent systematic review of the Cochrane library concluded that there is no evidence showing that metformin is clearly associated with an increased risk of lactic acidosis&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The following predisposing factors to metformin-induced lactic acidosis development should be highlighted&#58; volume depletion&#44; renal function deterioration&#44; severe liver diseases&#44; congestive heart failure or use of drugs that interfere with renal autoregulation&#44; such as renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span> Among our patients&#44; two cases had volume depletion with acute renal failure&#44; three had taken renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors and one received non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Mortality was related with a lower blood pH and higher plasma concentrations of lactic acid or metformin&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span> although other authors found a relationship with coagulation disorders&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span> Indeed&#44; in our study&#44; the two patients that died had significant coagulation disorders and the other patients made favourable progress&#44; having normal coagulation parameters&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Initial treatment is based on haemodynamic and respiratory stability&#46; Furthermore&#44; the metabolic disorder must be corrected&#44; although using bicarbonate sodium is controvertial&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span> given that it could cause the haemoglobin disassociation curve to shift to the left&#44; a sodium overload&#44; and occasionally&#44; rebound metabolic alkalosis&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">14&#44;15</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">For the most severe cases&#44; extrarenal depuration techniques have been used&#44; i&#46;e&#46; intermittent haemodialysis and continuous haemofiltration&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">16 </span>Haemodialysis using a bicarbonate solution is the most rapid way to correct acidosis&#44; but continuous techniques should be considered for patients with haemodynamic instability&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span> A combination of the two techniques can also be used depending on the patient&#8217;s evolution&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The benefits of haemodialysis seem to be related to the correction of metabolic acidosis and drug elimination&#46; Prolonged sessions are recommended to increase clearance&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5&#44;15&#44;18</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We performed haemodialysis on two patients&#44; one was treated with continuous haemodiafiltration and another one underwent both techniques&#46; Each technique was chosen in accordance with the haemodynamic stability of each patient&#59; continuous techniques were preferred for patients that presented with haemodynamic instability&#46; Despite treatment&#44; prognosis was poor for 40&#37; of our patients&#44; probably related to the severe associated diseases that they presented&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">To conclude&#44; diagnosis should be suspected in those subjects treated with the drug who present with severe lactic acidosis&#46; Special caution should be taken for patients with severe associated diseases such as liver or renal failure&#44; volume depletion or concomitant treatment with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;10955&#95;108&#95;21671&#95;en&#95;t1&#95;10955&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="10955_108_21671_en_t1_10955.jpg" alt="Clinical and analytical data&#44;

as a monotherapy or with associated anti-diabetic agents and even insulin&#46; Clinical practice guidelines especially recommend its use in obese type 2 diabetic patients and have even started to recommend it in subjects with an altered fasting blood glucose&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6&#44;7</span> Following oral administration&#44; peak metformin plasma levels are reached after 2&#46;5 hours&#46; Its protein binding is insignificant&#44; its distribution volume is high and it is mainly excreted by the kidney&#46; These characteristics promote drug elimination using extrarenal depuration techniques&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Metformin&#8217;s main secondary effects are gastrointestinal &#40;anorexia&#44; nausea&#44; vomiting&#44; diarrhoea and abdominal pain&#41; and&#44; occasionally&#44; induces skin disorders or hypersensitivity reactions&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> Metformin-induced lactic acidosis is a rare complication&#44; but it is potentially very severe and its incidence is estimated to be 3 cases per 100&#160;000 person-years&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span> Its cause is not well known&#44; although it seems to alter the mitochondrial oxidative metabolism on one hand&#44; and increase the intestinal lactic acid production and decrease intestinal glucose absorption&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9-11</span> However&#44; a recent systematic review of the Cochrane library concluded that there is no evidence showing that metformin is clearly associated with an increased risk of lactic acidosis&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The following predisposing factors to metformin-induced lactic acidosis development should be highlighted&#58; volume depletion&#44; renal function deterioration&#44; severe liver diseases&#44; congestive heart failure or use of drugs that interfere with renal autoregulation&#44; such as renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span> Among our patients&#44; two cases had volume depletion with acute renal failure&#44; three had taken renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors and one received non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Mortality was related with a lower blood pH and higher plasma concentrations of lactic acid or metformin&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span> although other authors found a relationship with coagulation disorders&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span> Indeed&#44; in our study&#44; the two patients that died had significant coagulation disorders and the other patients made favourable progress&#44; having normal coagulation parameters&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Initial treatment is based on haemodynamic and respiratory stability&#46; Furthermore&#44; the metabolic disorder must be corrected&#44; although using bicarbonate sodium is controvertial&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span> given that it could cause the haemoglobin disassociation curve to shift to the left&#44; a sodium overload&#44; and occasionally&#44; rebound metabolic alkalosis&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">14&#44;15</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">For the most severe cases&#44; extrarenal depuration techniques have been used&#44; i&#46;e&#46; intermittent haemodialysis and continuous haemofiltration&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">16 </span>Haemodialysis using a bicarbonate solution is the most rapid way to correct acidosis&#44; but continuous techniques should be considered for patients with haemodynamic instability&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span> A combination of the two techniques can also be used depending on the patient&#8217;s evolution&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The benefits of haemodialysis seem to be related to the correction of metabolic acidosis and drug elimination&#46; Prolonged sessions are recommended to increase clearance&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5&#44;15&#44;18</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">We performed haemodialysis on two patients&#44; one was treated with continuous haemodiafiltration and another one underwent both techniques&#46; Each technique was chosen in accordance with the haemodynamic stability of each patient&#59; continuous techniques were preferred for patients that presented with haemodynamic instability&#46; Despite treatment&#44; prognosis was poor for 40&#37; of our patients&#44; probably related to the severe associated diseases that they presented&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">To conclude&#44; diagnosis should be suspected in those subjects treated with the drug who present with severe lactic acidosis&#46; Special caution should be taken for patients with severe associated diseases such as liver or renal failure&#44; volume depletion or concomitant treatment with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;10955&#95;108&#95;21671&#95;en&#95;t1&#95;10955&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="10955_108_21671_en_t1_10955.jpg" alt="Clinical and analytical data&#44;
