Toxicologic Acid-Base Disorders
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2014Acid-base disorders may complicate the presentation of patients with poisoning. This article summarizes an approach to acid-base disorders from a toxicologic perspective. It aims to assist the reader in identifying underlying acid-base processes, generating a differential diagnosis for each, and approaching that differential diagnosis in a systematic ...

This article reviews normal acid-base regulation, related laboratory tests, and the potential disorders if the body's ability to compensate is disrupted. Acid derived from the oxidation of proteins and through tissue metabolism must be excreted or neutralized daily by the kidneys and lungs to maintain a proper acid-base balance.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2001
Acid-base homeostasis is an important determinant of many physiologic functions. Nowhere is understanding the mechanisms and significance of hydrogen ion (H+) imbalance more important than in critical care management, where patients are threatened with a physiochemical disorder that is often as complex as it is dangerous.

Respiratory Acid–Base Disorders
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2001Respiratory acid-base disorders, although infrequently diagnosed in veterinary medicine, can cause or contribute to adverse clinical outcomes. Recognition of the mechanisms and causes of respiratory acidosis and alkalosis can prompt clinical detection of the acid-base derangement, allowing for appropriate intervention.

The body regulates pH closely to maintain homeostasis. The pH of blood can be represented by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: pH = pK + log [HCO3-]/PCO2 Thus, pH is a function of the ratio between bicarbonate ion concentration [HCO3-] and carbon dioxide tension (PCO2).

TERMINOLOGY OF ACID‐BASE DISORDERS
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1965Excerpt This paper attempts to present a brief, hopefully impartial, summary of the general terminological problems involved in the description and characterization of acid-base disorders.

This review is a summary of the acid-base physiology that is essential to understanding acid-base pathophysiology. An acid is defined as a proton donor; a base is defined as a proton acceptor. The body fluids are composed of acids and bases, which are tightly regulated by our organ systems, specifically the respiratory system and kidneys.

Respiratory Acid–Base Disorders
2012The lungs serve to defend pH by altering alveolar ventilation which serves to control the pCO2 of body fluids. Respiratory acidosis develops as a result of ineffective alveolar ventilation. Respiratory alkalosis results from hypocapnia and is defined by a PaCO2 of less than 35 mmHg in the setting of alkalemia.
