  2. Acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidosis

    The difference is important where a patient has factors causing both acidosis and alkalosis, wherein the relative severity of both determines whether the result is a high, low, or normal pH. [citation needed] Alkalemia occurs at a pH over 7.45. Arterial blood gas analysis and other tests are required to separate the main causes. In certain ...

  3. Metabolic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_acidosis

    Metabolic acidosis can lead to acidemia, which is defined as arterial blood pH that is lower than 7.35. [6] Acidemia and acidosis are not mutually exclusive – pH and hydrogen ion concentrations also depend on the coexistence of other acid-base disorders; therefore, pH levels in people with metabolic acidosis can range from low to high.

  4. Lactic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactic_acidosis

    Lactic acidosis is commonly found in people who are unwell, such as those with severe heart and/or lung disease, a severe infection with sepsis, the systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to another cause, severe physical trauma, or severe depletion of body fluids. [3]

  5. 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]

  6. Respiratory acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_acidosis

    The expected change in pH with respiratory acidosis can be estimated with the following equations: [citation needed] Acute respiratory acidosis: Change in pH = 0.08 X ((40 − PaCO 2)/10) Chronic respiratory acidosis: Change in pH = 0.03 X ((40 − PaCO 2)/10) Respiratory acidosis does not have a great effect on electrolyte levels. Some small ...

    “This causes a drug interaction called ‘potentiation’ in which, from a drug effects standpoint, 1 plus 1 is greater than 2.” We hope these tips help you stay safe if you choose to drink ...

  8. Respiratory alkalosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_alkalosis

    Respiratory alkalosis is a medical condition in which increased respiration elevates the blood pH beyond the normal range (7.35–7.45) with a concurrent reduction in arterial levels of carbon dioxide. [1] [4] This condition is one of the four primary disturbances of acid–base homeostasis. [5]
