Emphysema can be associated with a respiratory acidosis, where the lungs are unable to expel enough carbon dioxide, leading to an accumulation of acid in the blood. This occurs due to the reduced ability of the damaged alveoli in the lungs to exchange gases effectively.
Acetic acid is the main class of compound associated with vinegar. It is responsible for vinegar's sour taste and strong smell.
Yes, both males and females are susceptible to phenylketonuria (PKU). PKU is an inherited disorder that affects the ability of the body to break down an amino acid called phenylalanine. It is caused by a defective gene that can be passed down from either parent to their child, regardless of the child's sex.
The liquid in your stomach is called gastric acid or stomach acid. It is primarily composed of hydrochloric acid, enzymes, and mucus, and helps in digestion by breaking down food.

Formic acid is injected into the skin by a bee sting, causing the pain and inflammation associated with the sting.

Pellagra is a disorder brought on by a deficiency of the nutrient called niacin or nicotinic acid, one of the B-complex vitamins.
Refsum disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects the ability of the body to breakdown fats, a process called fatty acid oxidation. As a result, a metabolite called phytanic acid accumulates in the blood as well as other tissues.
Gastric acid (also known as stomach acid)
The use of alcohol is associated with an increased incidence of acid reflux disease
A typical corrosive material associated with an automobile, light truck, or SUV is battery acid (sulfuric acid solution in the lead-acid battery).
Anemia
Homocysteine
An acid found in grapes is called maleic acid
is formed as part of the process of metabolizing an amino acid called tyrosine. In the skin, melanin is formed by cells called melanocytes. Certain medical conditions, such as albinism, are associated with the lack of melanin.
Hydrocyanic acid
Sulphuric Acid
