it does not. doctors prescribe medication. Other causes of metabolic acidosis include severe dehydration -- resulting in decreased tissue perfusion (decreased blood flow), kidney disease (see distal renal tubular acidosis and proximal renal tubular acidosis), and other metabolic diseases.

I understand your seize 22 concern... i've got been via that besides. you have have been given it top, in the experience that if the pH is typical, on an identical time as something of the readings are atypical, then the physique has maximum probable 'compensated'. How? look on the PaCO2 (partial rigidity of Carbon Dioxide) a. If the pH is typical (N), yet PaCO2 is raised, HCO3 is raised = compensated respiration acidosis (renal retention) b. If the pH is N, yet PaCO2 is decreased, HCO3 is decreased = compensated respiration alkalosis (renal excretion) c. If the pH is N, yet PaCO2 is decreased, HCO3 is decreased = compensated metabolic acidosis (cut back ventilation) d. If the pH is typical (N), yet PaCO2 is raised, HCO3 is raised = compensated metabolic alkalosis (improve ventilation) i'm hoping this made experience... bypass back to buffer fundamentals, remember how reimbursement works, then look at what i've got merely tried to describe. good success!

Yea there are three mechanisms.
1. Cellular Buffers
2. Kidneys excrete more hydrogen ions
3. Breathing faster removes CO2. Remeber CO2 when mixed with water is a weak acid.
A typical ABG gives you the following results:
pH of blood 7.35 - 7.45
PaCO2 - 35 -45
HCO3 22 - 26 (Bicrabonate)
CO2 is a weak acid mixed in water. It tells you if you are in respiratory acidosis or alkalosis. 45 is acidosid. 35 is alkalosis
HCO3 is a base tells your metabolic status. 26 is alkalosis. and 22 is acidosis.
If you want to know more send me a message.

Well a couple of things happen... the body tries to get rid of it by getting rid of ketones through the urine (hence polyuria, where diabetics have to urinate a lot). The other poster is correct bicarb is produced and this changes the pH of the blood. The body then tries to compensate for this change in pH by changing breathing patterns resulting in something called Kussmaul's respirations. Also the body tries to get rid of ketones by excreting them through the saliva and results in the 'musty apple' odour smell that you can smell if someone is suffering form acidosis.

IT COMPENSATES BY DEVELOPING A DISEASE OR MANY DISEASES IF THE ACIDOSIS CONTINUES FOR A LONG TIME. READ THE PH MIRACLE BOOK. GREAT INFORMATION IN IT.

Either the lungs or kidneys or both work to help stabilize the blood pH
