What should it be? What symptoms will arise if it's not right? What are the causes of abnormal pH? What would the prognosis be of such a person?

Normal arterial blood pH is 7.40, with a range of about 7.36-7.44. Blood pH depends on carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration and bicarbonate (HCO3) concentration. Because there is more CO2 in venous blood, pH of venous blood is slightly lower, around 7.38. Changing how much you breathe will alter CO2, and the kidneys can alter HCO3 production or excretion. Both of these methods help to maintain a normal blood pH. There are hundreds of conditions which alter pH, in either direction. When pH falls (acidosis/acidemia), your body will compensate immediately by breathing faster to reduce CO2 and afterwards by generating HCO3 through the kidneys. When pH rises (alkalosis/alkalemia), your body will compensate immediately by breathing slower allowing CO2 to rise and in the long run will excrete HCO3 through the kidneys. Prognosis is clearly worse with severely altered pH, but it depends much more on the underlying cause than on the pH itself.

The bloodstream is the most critically buffered system of the entire body, far more sensitive than any other. Arterial and venous blood must maintain a slightly alkaline pH: arterial blood pH = 7.41 and venous blood pH = 7.36. Because the normal pH of arterial blood is 7.41, a person is considered to have acidosis when the pH of blood falls below this value and to have alkalosis when the pH rises above 7.41.

I'm not sure about most of these questions, but I'm pretty sure your ph should be at 7.63. You should really look to a health reference web site like Web MD, for a better answer, most of us here are not doctors, in fact most of us here are just ridiculous, myself included. I think the result of abnormal ph is death, but the body works to maintain the ph balance. If it has to work too hard, you will probably experience exhaustion, mental fogginess and I would think also some pain. Please consult a doctor, have a blood test and talk about your concerns. If this is about homework, you are in the wrong category dude, but good luck.

7.0-7.2 is the ph
if it is not right you will be thirsty and you know that you are dehydrated and the blood is cloogy-thick
the causes of abnormal pH are many, such as dehydatration of your blood being too watery since it is missing on coagulants

a lot of blood is water so it should be around 7. i don't have time but read this: http://www.usyd.edu.au/anaes/lectures/acidbase_mjb/acidbase.html
