The acidosis<\/strong> is a disorder that is produced by an excessive presence of acids<\/strong> in the tissues and in the blood. It is possible to distinguish between metabolic acidosis<\/strong> and the respiratory acidosis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Acidosis\"Metabolic acidosis occurs when the increase in hydrogen exceeds the body's capacity for excretion, causing a withdrawal of bicarbonate from fluids. All the disorder<\/strong> It is caused by increased acid production, caused by ketoacidosis or lactic acidosis.<\/p>\n

Within this type of acidosis, metabolic, we can thus establish that there are various types of it:
Lactic acidosis. It receives this name because it originates as a result of an accumulation of what is known as lactic acid, which is what is created in red blood cells and muscle cells. Specifically, among the most frequent causes that give rise to a person suffering from the aforementioned pathology are hypoglycemia, alcohol, heart failure, cancer, severe anemia or undertaking vigorous exercise for an important period of time .<\/p>\n

Hyperchloremic acidosis. A significant loss of sodium bicarbonate from the body is one of the main reasons that leads an individual to suffer from it. Specifically, it can originate from severe diarrhea.<\/p>\n

Diabetic acidosis An accumulation of ketone bodies during diabetes is how it can be defined that which is also known by the name of diabetic ketoacidosis.<\/p>\n

Respiratory acidosis, on the other hand, appears when carbon dioxide is not eliminated in a normal way during respiration, generating a greater presence of circulating carbonic acid. The cough<\/strong>, the dyspnoea<\/strong>, the lethargy<\/strong> and the irritability<\/strong> are symptoms of respiratory acidosis, which can be caused by bronchial asthma, lung infections (pneumonia), sleep apnea, rib cage deformities, or muscle paralysis.<\/p>\n

Acidosis can lead to acidemia<\/strong>, which is when the blood has a pH lower than normal. PH is a measure of the acidity or basicity that exists in a solution, calculating the concentration of hydrogen ions or cations. Under acidosis, the subject exhibits an increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions.<\/p>\n

Another acid-related disorder in the body is acidity<\/strong>, produced by an excess of acid in the stomach that generates a burning sensation in the esophagus and a sour taste in the mouth. It is known as heartburn to the regurgitation of gastric acid that can be generated by foods and drinks such as coffee, chocolate and spicy ingredients.<\/p>\n

When any medical professional can diagnose that a person is suffering from some type of acidosis, they will necessarily have to resort to performing various tests such as, for example, an arterial blood gas. Thanks to that, you will be able to diagnose that you have this pathology and also what kind of it it is, which will mean that based on these elements you can establish the most suitable treatment. And it is necessary to go to the doctor to have a treatment because acidosis involves a serious risk. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
