acidosis
blood pH below 7.35
respiratory acidosis
drop in blood pH due to excess CO2 → high levels of H2CO3
respiratory acidosis compensation
1. Increased secretion of H into urine
2. Reabsorption of HCO3 into blood
metabolic acidosis
low HCO3 levels in blood
metabolic acidosis compensation
increased respiratory rate → CO2 removed from blood
Alkalosis
pH above 7.45
respiratory alkalosis
Blood pH rises → Excess loss of CO2
Due to hyperventilation & take K out
respiratory alkalosis compensation
1. Increased reabsorption of H in blood
2. Secretion of HCO3 into urine
metabolic alkalosis
High HCO3 levels in blood
metabolic alkalosis compensation
decreased respiratory rate → less CO2 removed
pH compensation
requires further intervention of the respiratory and/or the renal system to restore normal body pH
· pH Compensation - Respiratory
Speeding/slowing breathing (when problem is not within lungs) as CO2 is a volatile acid
ph compensation- Renal
Excretion/retention of hydrogen/bicarbonate through urinary system (when problem is within lungs)
