More Cl- is being excreted as Nh4Cl to buffer the excess acid in the renal tubules, leaving less Cl- in the Extracellular Fluid
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.
respiratory alkalosis would cause metabolic 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.
Metabolic acidosis
yes
The PO2 does decrease in metabolic acidosis, Similarly, there is a decrease in the pH and HCO3 levels. Metabolic acidosis is a condition where the body is producing too much acid.

Metabolic 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.
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
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.
