Neonatal lactic acidosis is a condition that occurs in newborns when there is an accumulation of lactic acid in the blood. This can happen due to insufficient oxygen supply to the tissues, often resulting from complications during childbirth or underlying health issues. High levels of lactic acid can lead to a decrease in blood pH, causing the blood to become more acidic. Symptoms of neonatal lactic acidosis may include rapid breathing, lethargy, and poor feeding. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to manage the condition effectively. Treatment often involves addressing the underlying cause and may include oxygen therapy or intravenous fluids to help restore normal acid-base balance.
