Lactic acidosis (LA) is characterised by persistently increased blood lactate >5 mmol/L. Type A LA due to anaerobic glycolysis is frequently seen during management of haematological malignancies. A rare form of LA known as type B LA, which occurs as a result of metabolic dysregulation at cellular level has been described recently.
