Forekomsten af lactacidose kan og bør reduceres ved også at bedømme andre relaterede risikofaktorer såsom dårligt reguleret diabetes, ketose, længerevarende faste, overdrevet alkoholindtag, leverinsufficiens samt enhver tilstand, der er 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.
