Ladder muscle syndrome

Lactoacidosis

Lactic acidosis develops as a result of increased production or decreased metabolism of lactate, as well as their combination. Lactate is a normal by-product of glucose and amino acid metabolism. The most severe form, type A lactic acidosis, develops with hyperproduction of lactic acid in ischemic tissue to form ATP with O2 deficiency.

Lactational mastitis

Lactation mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland (mostly one-sided) during lactation in the postpartum period. It most often develops 2-3 weeks after birth.

Lactase deficiency in children
