Q: What is D-Lactic Acidosis? 

 Answer: D-lactate is not a result of inadequate human metabolism, rather it is a byproduct of bacterial metabolism. It accumulates in patients with short-gut syndrome, in patients with a history of gastric bypass or small-bowel resection. 

 Human body metabolism produced only L-Lactate. L-lactate is the reported measured level.
