Nope. Blood ph is allways something like 7.35 on ketosis if you are a healthy person without diabetes

Which cation determines the pH of blood?

The cation that primarily determines the pH of blood is hydrogen ion (H⁺). The concentration of hydrogen ions influences the acidity or alkalinity of the blood, with higher concentrations leading to lower pH (more acidic) and lower concentrations resulting in higher pH (more alkaline). The body regulates blood pH through various mechanisms, including the bicarbonate buffering system, respiration, and renal function. Maintaining a stable pH is crucial for proper physiological functioning.


Increased secretion of aldosterone would result in a .... blood ph....?

Decreased blood pH. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to increased hydrogen ion secretion as a compensatory mechanism to maintain electrolyte balance. This can result in acidosis, leading to a lower blood pH.


Why is blood acidosis not really acidic?

Blood acidosis refers to a condition where the blood pH is lower than the normal range (7.35-7.45), making it more acidic. However, the term "acidosis" doesn't necessarily imply that blood is extremely acidic; rather, it signifies a relative increase in acidity compared to normal levels. Consequently, while blood acidosis is considered acidic within the context of the body's pH balance, it may not be as acidic as other substances with much lower pH values.


Why as the temperature of blood increases the pH decreases?

As the temperature of blood increases, the activity of enzymes that regulate pH decreases, leading to a decrease in pH. This happens because enzymes function optimally within a specific temperature range, and when this range is exceeded, enzyme activity is disrupted, resulting in a pH decrease.


What is you pH?

If you're asking what a person's pH is (blood), its about 7.4. For most mammals, its 7.4. There are certain respiratory and metabolic disorders that can change the pH. If the pH is higher than 7.4, the condition is called alkalosis. If a person's pH is lower than 7.4, its called acidosis.

What are the characteristics of ketosis?

Ketosis is a condition whereby there are many ketone bodies present in the blood. Some of the characteristics of ketosis are nervousness, weight loss and a loss of appetite.


Is acidosis a side effect of ketosis?

No, it is not. Acidosis is a process leading to increased blood acidity (lowered pH), and can be dangerous. Ketosis is a process leading to increased blood levels of three molecules known as ketone bodies, and is usually benign, even beneficial e.g. in controlling epileptic seizures.


The normal blood pH for ketoacidosis?

The normal blood pH is typically between 7.35 and 7.45. In ketoacidosis, blood pH is usually lower than 7.35, indicating acidosis.


Which ABG's value reflects the acid concentration in blood?

The pH value in an arterial blood gas (ABG) reflects the acid concentration in the blood. A lower pH indicates higher acid concentration (acidosis) and a higher pH indicates lower acid concentration (alkalosis).


What are the effects of pH in diabetic ketoacidosis?

DKA is an acidic state thus the blood pH would be lower then normal.


What is The slightly lower pH of venous blood compared to arterial blood is caused by?

The influx of carbon dioxide in venous blood.


How do the aliens have acid blood?

Their blood pH level(Acidity) is obviously lower than ours. (The lower the pH level the more acidic a substance is-The higher the pH the less acidic a substance is) So considering battery acid has a pH of .5 and can burn through certain metals and the aliens blood seem to burn through many things I'd estimate the aliens have a blood pH level of about -5 through -10.

Is anything below 7 on the pH scale considered an acid?

I'd say anything below 5. Anything which has a measureable pH which is less than 7 is considered "acidic" but it's not necessarily considered to be "an acid". To be considered to be an "acid", that entity must be willing to freely give up free H+ ions. And the lower the pH, the more of these "free" H+ ions does that entity have. Consider, for example, the difference between battery acid, vinegar, and blood from a person with Ketosis. Battery acid is "strongly" acidic and is considered to be a very strong acid, because it readily gives up free H+ ions (and it has a LOT of them, hence its low pH). Vinegar has fewer H+ ions and is still considered to be an acid albeit a "weak" acid. Now blood from a person who has Ketosis is acidic but is not considered to be an acid, because it does not have a high ratio of H+ / OH- ions. Hope this helps.


Is alkalosis the blood condition in which the blood pH is higher than normal?

Yes. Acidosis is when the blood pH is lower than normal. Alkalosis usually results from hyperventilation, whereas acidosis results from asphyxiation.


What is the pH of blood and why?

Normally 7.4 which is neutral. Lower would be an Acidosis Higher would be an alkalosis


Would it be good or bad to have a low or high blood pH?

Average blood pH is about 6.6-6.8. Anything higher or lower than this will break down your arterial walls and is incredibly unhealthy for you.
