Notes for people accustomed to thinking in miles. To convert from km to miles divide by 8 and multiply by 5. To convert from miles to km divide by 5 and multiply by 8. So 80 km = 50 miles, 160 km = 100 miles.
Causes of Lactic Acidosis. Lactic Acidosis is caused if a person reaches the anaerobic threshold or lactate threshold. This is the upper limit of the ability of an individual's body to exercise. When a person exercises at a limit below the lactate threshold, very little lactic acid will be produced.
The word acidosis refers to the tendency for RTA to lower the blood's pH. When the blood pH is below normal (7.35), this is called acidemia. The metabolic acidosis caused by RTA is normal. Lactic acidosis is a physiological condition that occurs due to an increase of lactic acid in the blood.
