Acidosis and Alkalosis
TERMINOLOGI :
• ACIDOSIS :
TERM USED TO DESCRIBE
PATIENTS WITH AN INCREASED
HYDROGEN ION IN THE BLOOD,
WITH pH BELOW 7,36
• ALKALOSIS :
TERM USED TO DESCRIBE
PATIENTS WITH A HYDROGEN
ION IN THE BLOOD BELOW NOR-
MAL, WITH pH ABOVE 7,44
pH PLASMA :
• UNCOMPENSATED RESPIRATORY
ACIDOSIS :
ACCUMULATION OF CARBONIC ACID
DUE HYPOVENTILATION → CAUSED
pCO₂ PLASMA RISE → RATIO
BICARBONATE/CARBONIC ACID FALL
→ pH TO FALL
• COMPENSATED RESPIRATORY
ACIDOSIS :
• UNCOMPENSATED RESPIRATORY
ALKALOSIS :
THERE IS LOSS OF CARBONIC
ACID, DUE HYPERVENTILATION →
pCO₂ FALLS → RATIO BICARBO-
NATE : CARBONIC ACID RISE →
THE pH RISE
COMPENSATORY RESPIRATORY
ALKALOSIS :
• BICARBONATE IS EXCRETED BY
KIDNEY → RATIO BICARBONATE :
CARBONIC ACID FALL → THE pH
FALL TOWARD NORMAL
METABOLIC ACIDOSIS
• UNCOMPENSATED METABOLIC
ACIDOSIS :
EXCESS OF ACID OR LOSS OF
BASE → RATIO BICARBONATE :
CARBONIC ACID TO FALL → THE
pH TO FALL.
COMPENSATED METABOLIC ACIDOSIS
:
• UNCOMPENSATED METABOLIC
ALKALOSIS :
THERE IS AN EXCESS OF BASE OR
LOSS OF ACID → RATIO BC : CA TO
RISE → THE pH TO RISE ( BUT NO
CHANGE IN THE PCO )
• COMPENSATED METABOLIC ALKA-
