  2. Metabolic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_acidosis

    Metabolic acidosis has three main root causes: increased acid production, loss of bicarbonate, and a reduced ability of the kidneys to excrete excess acids. [5] Metabolic acidosis can lead to acidemia, which is defined as arterial blood pH that is lower than 7.35. [6]

  3. Acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidosis

    One key to distinguish between respiratory and metabolic acidosis is that in respiratory acidosis, the CO 2 is increased while the bicarbonate is either normal (uncompensated) or increased (compensated). Compensation occurs if respiratory acidosis is present, and a chronic phase is entered with partial buffering of the acidosis through renal ...

  4. Acid–base homeostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_homeostasis

    Two other similar sounding terms are acidosis and alkalosis. They refer to the customary effect of a component, respiratory or metabolic. Acidosis would cause an acidemia on its own (i.e. if left "uncompensated" by an alkalosis). [24] Similarly, an alkalosis would cause an alkalemia on its own. [24]

  5. Respiratory alkalosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_alkalosis

    Respiratory alkalosis is very rarely life-threatening, though pH level should not be 7.5 or greater. The aim in treatment is to detect the underlying cause. When PaCO2 is adjusted rapidly in individuals with chronic respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis may occur. [3]

  6. Acid–base disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_disorder

    Acid–base imbalance is an abnormality of the human body's normal balance of acids and bases that causes the plasma pH to deviate out of the normal range (7.35 to 7.45). In the fetus, the normal range differs based on which umbilical vessel is sampled (umbilical vein pH is normally 7.25 to 7.45; umbilical artery pH is normally 7.18 to 7.38). [1]

  7. Normal anion gap acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_anion_gap_acidosis

    Hyperparathyroidism – can cause hyperchloremia and increase renal bicarbonate loss, which may result in a normal anion gap metabolic acidosis. Patients with hyperparathyroidism may have a lower than normal pH, slightly decreased PaCO2 due to respiratory compensation, a decreased bicarbonate level, and a normal anion gap.

    Some medical conditions disrupt metabolic processes, hampering your ability to lose weight in a caloric deficit, says Costa. "These include hypothyroidism , polycystic ovary syndrome, and insulin ...

  9. Base excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_excess

    metabolic acidosis, or respiratory alkalosis with renal compensation if too low (less than −2 mEq/L) Blood pH is determined by both a metabolic component, measured by base excess, and a respiratory component, measured by PaCO 2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide). Often a disturbance in one triggers a partial compensation in the other.
