Acid Base Balance 2 Flashcards
Anything that causes an excessive increase in respiration will in time produce
Alkalosis
Bodies most effective regulator of blood pH
Kidneys
Diabetes patients have to watch for what in their urine?
Ketone bodies
Result of an accumulation of ketone bodies
Diabetic ketonuria
Metabolic disturbances that can affect pH
Metabolic acidosis and alkalosis
Metabolic acidosis
Bicarbonate deficit
Metabolic acidosis
Bicarbonate excess
Respiratory disturbances
Respiratory acidosis and alkalosis
Respiratory acidosis
Carbonic acid excess
Respiratory alkalosis
Carbonic acid deficit
Forcible emptying or expulsion of gastric and occasionally intestinal contents through the mouth
Emesis
Vomiting can cause
A deprivation in stomach acid HCl
Result of a lack of Cl due to committing and an increase in bicarbonate levels
Uncompensated metabolic alkalosis
Two ways that the body respond to alkalosis
It slows respiration and increases elimination of bicarbonate in urine
When uncompensated metabolic alkalosis is accommodated for
Compensated metabolic alkalosis
