Incidensen af laktatacidose kan og bør reduceres ved også at bedømme andre forbundne risikofaktorer, såsom dårligt kontrolleret diabetes, ketose, længevarende faste, overdreven alkoholindtagelse, nedsat leverfunktion og enhver tilstand forbundet med hypoxi.
The incidence of lactic acidosis can and should be reduced by assessing also other associated risk factors such as poorly controlled diabetes, ketosis, prolonged fasting, excessive alcohol intake, hepatic insufficiency and any condition associated with hypoxia.
