pH is a measure of alkalinity (base) and acidity. Normal blood pH is between 7.35 and 7.45. When your blood pH is above 7.45 then you have alkaline blood. This is also called alkalemia.

Your body can compensate for an increase in base or acid. Stomach acid neutralizes bases and your blood has a lot of HCO3 (bicarbonate) that can buffer, or resist, changes in pH up or down.
