alkalosis and acidosis--is there and easy way to see how they work?
Q. I need to have a grasp of the normal values of metabolic/respiratory acidosis and alkalosis and how they all work. How do you discern is someone has alk/acidosis metabolically or via respiration and how do you tell if it is compensated? Can anyone tell me what patients with any of these problems would look like when you see them? Thanks VERY much in advance!

A. Hope you're sitting down. This is going to take a while. Carbon Dioxide and Bicarbonate form the basis of the PH in the blood. When co2 is released by the cells as waste it combines with h2o to form carbonic acid, H2CO3. This is a weak acid. To buffer this there is bicarbonate, HCO3. The H2CO3 loses a hydrogen ion in the lungs becoming H2O and CO2. The CO2 is released into the alveoli and exhaled. That hydrogen ion that was lost is picked up by the bicarbonate to form H2CO3 which again goes to the lungs etc. If there are too many hydrogen ions around the blood becomes acidotic and the body tries to compensate for this by making more bicarbonate to combine with the hydrogen ion. I assume you are a student in a Respiratory Therapy program… [cont.]

What is the significance of a normal high bicarbonate in respiratory acidosis?
Q. normal high means it is still within normal range, but on the high side
Asked by KANASAI - Tue Jun 2 03:39:18 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. This means that the body is compensating for the acidosis. Respiratory acidosis is caused when carbon dioxide is not removed from the blood due to hypoventilation, (slow breathing) or obstructions in the exchange of gases. Such conditions are caused by emphysema, asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and pulmonary edema. Carbon dioxide increases in the blood since it cannot effectively diffuse out of the lungs. The body has its own methods to correct abnormalities in pH. These are referred to as "compensation" methods. In a case of respiratory acidosis, the kidneys attempt to compensate for the low pH. The compensation is to increase excretion of H+ ion and therefore increase the retention or reabsorption of HCO3- (bicarbonate) into the blood.… [cont.]

Q. How can I distinguish between repiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis?
Asked by Daisy - Tue Apr 15 12:33:05 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. This is a simplified technique to determine the primary acid/base disorder. 1) Look at the pH. If it is >7.4, then the primary disorder is an alkalosis. If <7.4, it is acidosis. However, remember, a normal pH is 7.36-44. 2) Look at the pCO2. A normal pCO2 is ~40 mm Hg. If you have an acidosis and the pCO2 is high, then you have a primary respiratory acidosis (due to CO2 retention). If the pCO2 is low, then you have a metabolic acidosis. This is a very simplified guide to interpreting respiratory vs. metabolic acidosis.

A. Metabolic acidosis is acid accumulation from increased acid production or acid ingestion, Causes are classified by their effect on the anion gap . The Anion Gap is an approximate measurement of ions, that is molecules with a charge, either negative or positive.The most common causes of a high anion gap metabolic acidosis are Ketoacidosis,Lactic acidosis, Renal failure, Toxic ingestions.

A. I have only seen a few true cases of lactic acidosis from Metformin use. There are a couple things that can increase your risk for LA. If you are aware of your lab results, then one of the lab values you should look at is your serum creatinine (Scr) - if it is greater than 1.4 then you should not be taking Metformin any longer. Also, it is possible to directly measure the amount of lactate in the blood. I'm assuming that they would not have discharged you if it had been abnormal. Be aware that the recommend maximum dose for Metformin XR is 2000 mg per day.

Stupor and coma can develop within moments if breathing stops or is severely impaired, or over hours if breathing is less dramatically impaired. The treatment of respiratory acidosis aims at improving the function of the lungs. Drugs that open the airways (bronchodilators, such as albuterol) may help people who have lung diseases such as asthma and emphysema. People who have severely impaired breathing or lung function, for whatever reason, may need mechanical ventilation to aid breathing.

Q. How does the renal system compensate for respiratory acidosis?
Asked by cld4ever_always - Thu Mar 8 12:01:32 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Respiratory acidosis is a metabolic state often seen in COPD'ers. Patients with COPD are unable to properly secrete CO2 from their blood, and in exchange, they become acidotic due to the build up of hydrogen ions. Patients with renal failure are also prone to acidosis due to the damage in their kidneys. The kidneys are the body's main source of bicarb (HCO3) which helps to compensate (counteract) the effects of CO2. When a decrease in pH is detected, the kidneys begin to retain bicarb to compensate for the excess hydrogen ions in the blood. Unfortunately, compensation is a slow process and can often take several days. The pH level of the blood is maintained between 7.35 and 7.45. Levels below 7.35 are considered acidotic. CO2 (t [cont.]

Is the student likely to be experiencing acidosis or alkalosis
Q. A student hyperventilates and is disoriented just before an exam. Is the student likely to be experiencing acidosis or alkalosis? How will the body compensate in an effort to maintain homeostasis?
Asked by tamtam - Thu Aug 7 14:25:52 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. alkalosis. hyperventilation will remove excess CO2 from the body. When the CO2 is removed it shifts the bicarbonate buffer system equation to the right resulting in more C02/H20 and less HCO3- / H+ which raises the pH (alkalosis). The body could respond simply by hypoventilation which will reverse the process (there are a number of other ways the body can respond though).

A. It's usually only given when cardiac function is not impaired because of it AND when kidney function is adequate. Essentially, it allows the kidneys to take care of the problem by excreting either HCl or NH4Cl. Thus, the Cl is more important than the Na. Also, NaCl is often given whenever the patient needs fluids. By giving the Cl needed to help get rid of excess acids AND by giving fluids, it both helps any dehydration and give the kidneys plenty of fluids to filter out the excess acids.

A. As Dr. L has pointed out the body produces Bicarb to help balance the acid not only in the stomach and the intestines but in the blood. Remember that because of cellular respiration you have O2 and CO2 circulating. However, prolonged diarrhea depletes the body of one of it's normal acid sources and due to the chronic nature the imbalance shifts to the basic or bicarb side of the pH scale as there are always buffers in the intestinal system. In order to treat this patient you need to not only treat the symptoms but the root cause (the diarrhea).
