Abstract

The existence of metformin-induced lactic acidosis has been questioned, in particular in the absence of specific risk factors such as impaired renal function. This report describes the presence of lactic acidosis in a patient with normal kidney function and normal doses of metformin. Subsequent positive rechallenge with metformin confirms causality.
