ACIDOSIS and ALKALOSIS Acidosis * An increased acidity in the blood and other body tissue (i.e.‚ an increased hydrogen ion concentration). If not further qualified‚ it usually refers to acidity of the blood plasma. * Acidosis may not cause any symptoms or it may be associated with nonspecific symptoms such as fatigue‚ nausea‚ and vomiting. Acute acidosis may also cause an increased rate and depth of breathing‚ confusion‚ and headaches‚ and it can lead to seizures‚ coma‚ and in some cases

Metabolic Acidosis Metabolic acidosis is a condition in which there is too much acid in the blood. It happens because of a chemical imbalance in your cells. Metabolic acidosis can happen at any age‚ and there are many different causes. It may be a symptom of a sudden‚ short-lived (acute) condition‚ or a lifelong (chronic) condition. Metabolic acidosis can be mild‚ or it can be severe and life-threatening‚ depending on the cause. It can be corrected if the cause is identified and treated correctly

Respiratory acidosis is a condition where body is unable to eliminate all the carbon dioxide within the lungs; this condition results with the body fluids becoming too acidic usually within the patient’s blood. The PCO2 of respiratory acidosis is greater than 45mmHg and the pH would be less than 7.36. (Graham‚ T. (2006). Respiratory alkalosis is when the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood‚ mainly due to breathing excessively are too low. Levels of respiratory alkalosis is a PCO2 of less than 35

Lactic acid is produced when oxygen levels in the body drop. Causes Causes The most common cause is intense exercise. However‚ it can also be caused by certain diseases‚ such as sepsis‚ respiratory failure‚ cardiac failure‚ AIDS‚ cancer‚ and kidney failure. Metformin‚ a common

When our body fluids contain too much acid is called acidosis. Acidosis happens when the kidneys and the lungs could not keep up your body’s pH in balance. Many of the body’s processes produce acid. For example‚ the lungs and the kidneys can usually compensate for slightly pH imbalances; however the problems with lungs and kidneys can causes to excess acid in our body. The acidity of the blood in your body is determined by PH. A lower PH shows that your blood is more acidic and higher PH shows that

Metabolic Disease Luise Crinklaw Carrington College What is metabolic disease? Metabolic Disease or syndrome can strike anytime in a person’s lifetime from the very young to the very old and it has even been reported to affect animals. The disease itself takes on many forms and doesn’t affect each person the same way. Treatments vary according to each individual’s symptoms. Now let’s go into what exactly are metabolic disorders

GREAT METABOLIC CHALLENGE Metabolism is a series of vital biochemical processes that take place in order to sustain life. During a marathon run‚ the individual relies on the breakdown of carbohydrates and lipids‚ in order to provide energy release in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This essay will focus on the role of mobilization and structures of both carbohydrates and lipids in the production of ATP. Mobilization of Carbohydrates When carbohydrates are consumed during a meal‚ catabolism
