This is too high, a situation called alkalemia. This will distort the ability of the blood to transport carbon dioxide and oxygen as well as alter the balance of electrolytes. If left untreated, alkalemia can be fatal.

What is the pH of blood of healthy person?

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. hope i helped :D

What is meant by physiological acidosis when the blood pH is between 7 and 7.35?

The normal ph of arterial blood is 7.4, that of venous blood and IF is 7.35, and that of ICF averages 7.0. The lower pH in cells and venous blood reflects their greater amounts of acidic metabolites and carbon dioxide, which combines with water to from carbonic acid, H2CO3. Whenever the pH of arterial blood rises above 7.45, a person is said to have alkalosis or alkalemia. A drop in arterial pH to below 7.35 results in acidosis or academia. Because pH 7.0 is neutral, chemically speaking 7.35 is not acidic. However, it is a higher-than -optimal H+ concentration for most cells, so any arterial pHbetween 7.35 and 7.0 is called physiological acidosis.
