D-lactic acidosis is associated with fermentative disturbances and is often marked by elevated levels of D-lactic acid in the blood, ruminal fluid, and synovial fluid in cattle. D-lactic acidosis is linked to various inflammatory manifestations, and although the causative factors have been extensively explored, the exact pathogenesis of the associated inflammation remains elusive. Notably, less attention has been given to D-lactate, a stereoisomer found in the plasma of affected animals, which may lead to D-lactic acidosis. This review aims to highlight the evidence suggesting that D-lactate participates in the modulation of inflammatory processes and explore its potential effects on synoviocytes, polymorphonuclear neutrophils, macrophages, and T-cells. This comprehensive examination of D-lactate's involvement in the inflammatory response process provides timely insights into the pathophysiological aspects of ruminal acidosis in cattle.

Introduction: Metabolic acidosis, marked by decreased plasma bicarbonate and arterial pH, is a common complication following extensive abdominal surgeries. D-lactate acidosis presents additional diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms.

Presentation Of Case: A 65-year-old woman with hypertension and morbid obesity was admitted to the ICU for intestinal obstruction and peritonitis due to an incarcerated hernia.

d-Lactic acidosis is a rare type of lactic acidosis that typically presents in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS). Clinical features include a high anion-gap metabolic acidosis and acute onset of neurological impairment. The underlying pathology is thought to be due to altered gut flora and carbohydrate malabsorption in patients with altered gut anatomy.

Background: D-lactic acidosis (DLA) is a serious complication of short bowel syndrome (SBS) in children with intestinal failure (IF). Malabsorbed carbohydrates are metabolized by bacteria in the intestine to D-lactate which can lead to metabolic acidosis and neurologic symptoms.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed in children ≤18 years old with SBS who had one of the following criteria: unexplained metabolic acidosis, neurologic signs or symptoms, history of antibiotic therapy for small bowel bacterial overgrowth, or high clinical suspicion of DLA.

Type B lactic acidosis has been described infrequently in hematologic malignancies, but even less often in solid tumors. Since 1978, there have been only 58 cases of solid tumor associated Type B lactic acidosis described in the literature. Lung cancer (neuroendocrine) is the most common tumor; others frequently have a poorly/undifferentiated histology.
