acidosis
True/Yes Acidosis is defined as a blood pH less than normal
No, when alcohol is tested for in the blood, the lab looks for the specific molecule alcohol, and not liver inflammation. So a person with Hep-C would not test positive for alcohol unless they had ingested alcohol in some form.
No, diabetes has no effect on blood alcohol content. That depends on what type of test you are referring to... Acetone (or other ketones) in the blood/body, whether because of Diabetes, other illness, or some Diets CAN, and often DOES cause false positive alcohol test results if tested with a Breathalyzer. It may not affect the actual blood alcohol content, but it CAN cause false positive test results... THAT is why the result is called a FALSE positive.
Metabolic acidosis
Lactic acid is produced by the muscles during exercise. What happens when there is too much lactic acid in the body is that acidosis occurs. Symptoms of acidosis include a shortness of breath, confusion and fatigue.
When blood becomes too acidic it is called acidosis. There are several types of acidosis, the most common being metabolic acidosis which is caused by diabetes, kidney disease, severe dehydration, and alcohol or aspirin poisoning.
Acidosis following thermal injury is common, and is most pronounced on admission. The acidosis is usually compensated by respiratory alkalosis. Acidosis develops within hours after > 30% burns. Has both metabolic and respiratory components. Former due to products of heat-damaged tissues and relative hypoxia.
Acidosis is an increased acidity in the blood
The medical application of acidosis is to rectify the the pH of the blood. There are two main type of acidosis which are respiratory and metabolic acidosis.
Usually, this acidity is caused by metabolism or respiration. Then it is called " respiratory acidosis" or "non-respiratory acidosis" (metabolic acidosis). These conditions might cause acidemia.
acidosis
Acidosis is high levels of acidity in the blood and other body tissue, occuring when the arterial pH falls below 7.35. The two types of acidosis are metabolic acidosis and respiratory acidosis.
Your body attempts to regulate any change in the pH of your blood. If your blood is too basic, your body's natural response is acidosis.
acidosis
True/Yes Acidosis is defined as a blood pH less than normal
Yes in cases like copd and renal failure ...... opioid poisoning with sepsis. The cause of respiratory acidosis is the excess C02 secondary to the rate of respiration (breathing rate low or circulatory problems). Lactic acidosis is due to the incomplete metabolism of glucose. Other forms of metabolic acidosis are symptomatic of kidney failure.
