Patients with AIDS have developed lactic acidosis and hepatic steatosis while taking nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) such as zidovudine 1 and didanosine 2 NRTIs inhibit DNApolymerase γ, responsible for mitochondrial DNA synthesis Inhibition of mitochondrial DNA synthesis has been proposed as the mechanism responsible for lactic acidosis and hepatic steatosis We considered that there must be other factors involved because, despite the predictable effects of these agents on DNA polymerase γ, lactic acidosis is uncommon, and because we and others 1, 2 have observed that lactic acidosis is not readily reversible after discontinuation of NRTI.
