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.
METABOLIC ACIDOSIS is typically caused by the increased production of acid metabolites such as lactic acid. For example, hypoxia tends to shift the body's energy-generating system toward glycolysis which produces lactic acidosis. This form of metabolic acidosis also may arise from toxins and from renal failure.
