What effect does pH have on the receptors for acidosis and alkalosis?
Q. Acidosis occurs when the blood pH falls below 7.35 and alkalosis occurs when the blood pH rises about 7.45, but what does the pH change do the receptors? Please Help Me Out!
Asked by Stephanie - Fri Jan 29 11:35:17 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. for simplicity sake, receptors are proteins. These proteins have an optimum working pH. Going above or below the pH slows down the activity of that protein and can eventually denature (destroy) the protein. Hope that made sense. If you still have questions drop me a message and add your questions in details

A. It is due to increased production of H+ by the body or the inability of the body to form bicarbonate (HCO3-) in the kidney, thus, leading to acidemia. Blood pH is low (less than 7.35) Arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling is essential for the diagnosis. Med study...

Why does acidosis shift the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the right?
Q. I was looking this up, but why would an acidotic state inhibit the saturation of oxygen to hemoglobin? Is there an interaction between hydrogen and hemoglobin that inhibits the saturation? Thanks to all!
Asked by Dr. D - Thu Jun 3 14:20:58 2010 - - 0 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Your question goes right to the heart of why the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is so important. As the blood is arterializing in the pulmonary capillary bed oxygen diffuses across the a-c membrane and into the plasma first. If the plasma is relatively acidotic the heme groups in the erythrocytes takes it up very slowly or, in other words, has a weak attraction. This is due to the presence of CO2 in the heme molecule.. It does not compete with oxygen binding sites as does CO but rather changes the configuration of the molecule to make it less attractive to O2. The reverse is also true. Less CO2 means the heme group is more attractive to O2 and binds more securely. Thus you have the shifts in the oxyhemeglobin dissociation curve. So it's… [cont.]

What is the significance of a normal high bicarbonate in respiratory acidosis?
Q. normal high means it is still within normal range, but on the high side
Asked by KANASAI - Tue Jun 2 03:39:18 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. This means that the body is compensating for the acidosis. Respiratory acidosis is caused when carbon dioxide is not removed from the blood due to hypoventilation, (slow breathing) or obstructions in the exchange of gases. Such conditions are caused by emphysema, asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and pulmonary edema. Carbon dioxide increases in the blood since it cannot effectively diffuse out of the lungs. The body has its own methods to correct abnormalities in pH. These are referred to as "compensation" methods. In a case of respiratory acidosis, the kidneys attempt to compensate for the low pH. The compensation is to increase excretion of H+ ion and therefore increase the retention or reabsorption of HCO3- (bicarbonate) into the blood.… [cont.]

How does rhabdomyolysis cause hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis?
Q. Be specific. Thanks. :]
Asked by Ashley - Sat Jan 2 16:10:52 2010 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments
A. This sounds suspiciously like a Homework question but I'll give you the benefit of a doubt. First, you must understand what rhabdomyolysis is and how it affects the body. Hyperkalemia is RARELY caused by rhabdo but rhabdo can be caused by hyperkalemia. When hyperkalemia is caused by rhabdo, it often goes unnoticed becaue of the counteracting effect of rhabdo on serum potassium. Rhabdo is a disease of the skeletal muscle that involves the breakdown & destruction (lysis) of muscle tissue and thus muscle cells. As a result of cell lysis, electrolytes such as potassium and phosphate and myoglobin & creatine kinase (CK) are leaked from ruptured muscle tissue cells into the plasma of circulating blood. If tissue destruction is significant… [cont.]

Asked by Daisy - Tue Apr 15 12:33:05 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. This is a simplified technique to determine the primary acid/base disorder. 1) Look at the pH. If it is >7.4, then the primary disorder is an alkalosis. If <7.4, it is acidosis. However, remember, a normal pH is 7.36-44. 2) Look at the pCO2. A normal pCO2 is ~40 mm Hg. If you have an acidosis and the pCO2 is high, then you have a primary respiratory acidosis (due to CO2 retention). If the pCO2 is low, then you have a metabolic acidosis. This is a very simplified guide to interpreting respiratory vs. metabolic acidosis.

A. I have only seen a few true cases of lactic acidosis from Metformin use. There are a couple things that can increase your risk for LA. If you are aware of your lab results, then one of the lab values you should look at is your serum creatinine (Scr) - if it is greater than 1.4 then you should not be taking Metformin any longer. Also, it is possible to directly measure the amount of lactate in the blood. I'm assuming that they would not have discharged you if it had been abnormal. Be aware that the recommend maximum dose for Metformin XR is 2000 mg per day.

A. Respiratory acidosis is a condition that occurs when the lungs cannot remove all of the carbon dioxide the body produces. This disrupts the body's acid-base balance causing body fluids, especially the blood, to become too acidic. Normal blood pH is maintained between 7.35 and 7.45 by the regulatory systems. The lungs regulate the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood and the kidneys regulate the bicarbonate. When the pH decreases to below 7.35 an acidosis condition is present.
