ABSTRACT
Metformin is a well-established drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The incidence of metformin-induced lactic acidosis is low, but the estimated mortality rate is approximately 50% in cases with lactic acidosis in combination with metformin therapy. Lactic acidosis occurs most often in patients with compromised cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, and/or renal function. Acute kidney injury is a relatively frequent problem in cirrhosis patients. Hepatorenal syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion, making its diagnosis difficult in the clinical field. We report a case of metformin-induced lactic acidosis with acute kidney injury that was misdiagnosed as hepatorenal syndrome in a cirrhosis patient.
