Abstract:
When the pH is significantly low, metabolic acidosis is considered severe, and such a low level is typically regarded as incompatible with life. Despite being an indication of a bad prognosis, severe acidosis alone is not a strong enough predictor of outcome to support the refusal of resuscitation. Timely interventions can sometimes achieve recovery from extremely severe acidosis. Here, we report a case of severe metabolic acidosis with a pH less than 6.5 associated with sepsis and acute kidney injury, who survived without any functional deficits by timely resuscitation and a multidisciplinary approach.
