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.
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.
how does renal system compansate for acidosis
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.
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.
No.
acidosis
The prognosis is good for someone who has renal tubular acidosis and they are receiving the right treatments. They will need high doses of bicarbonate and correction of the acidosis and potassium levels are required.
respiratory alkalosis would cause metabolic acidosis
If the underlying condition that caused the respiratory acidosis is treated and corrected, there may be no long term effects.
A metabolic acidosis will have a low HCO3(less than 22) and a low base access( less than-2) there may be a compensatory low CO2 (less than 4,7kPa. But in respiratory acidosis the CO2 is high( more than 6.0k,Pa) and the O2 may be low
