General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, thanks for being with Health care magic. I have read & understoof your question. Usually with normal blood oxygen, lactic acid is produced in body by by muscle cells & red blood cells .& liver deals with it . When blood oxygen is less, lactic acid is produced while creating energy.. The raised levels of lactic acid in your body seems to be due to sepsis .. because it causes destruction of blood cells & muscle cells also from the tissue that is involved in the sepsis. * In my view.. you need consultation of a surgeon( if there is obvious site of sepsis ) / a physician .. for evaluation of the lactic acid levels & necessary investigations to search of the infection site. Irradiation of sepsis forms the complete treatment of your problem. thanks.
