Acidosis if not treated can lead to growth retardation, kidney stones, bone disease, chronic kidney disease & in long run total kidney failure. Acidosis can be fully treated ('UNDER SUPERVISED MEDICAL GUIDANCE') with Alkalizers viz. Sodium Bicarbonate & Sodium Citrate / Potassium Magnesium Citrate etc.

Metabolic acidosis occurs when the body does not get rid of the build up of acids in the body. Acidosis can occur due to kidney failure, uncontrolled diabetes, alcohol poisoning, and prolonged lack of oxygen.
normal body pH is 7.35 to 7.45. Now there are certain conditions which alter this. In the most simplistic terms there are two main causes why the body would become acidotic ie its pH becoming less than 7.35. the first reason is when the lungs are not effectively removing the CO2 from the body, this is called respiratory acidosis. The second type is called metabolic acidosis and this occurs in severe sepsis, renal failure and drug overdoses. Either way if you are acidotic you are severely ill!
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.
Type 4 renal tubular acidosis is not hereditary, but is associated with diabetes mellitus, sickle cell anemia, an autoimmune disease, or an obstructed urinary tract.
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.
Type I Renal Tubular 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.
Acidosis is an increased acidity in the blood
Cardiac arrest leads to a lack of blood flow, resulting in inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues and impaired removal of carbon dioxide. This hypoxia causes anaerobic metabolism, which generates lactic acid, leading to metabolic acidosis. Additionally, the accumulation of carbon dioxide due to reduced perfusion can contribute to respiratory acidosis. Together, these factors create a state of acidosis during cardiac arrest.
