The Sour Patient Abstract. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman presenting with an elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis. The evaluation proved a 5-oxoprolin acidosis due to acetaminophen in therapeutic dose and concomitant risk factors such as malnutrition, chronic alcohol abuse, renal insufficiency, hepatopathy, and female sex. After stopping paracetamol medication and admission of bicarbonate and N-acetylcysteine, there was a rapid improvement in clinical symptoms and blood analysis.
