acid-base disturbance Because of the pathological process of acid-base overload or regulation disorder lead to destruction of acid-basestability.

Simple Acid-Base Disorders Clinical disturbances of acid base metabolism classically are defined in terms of the HCO3¯ /CO2 buffer system. Acidosis – process that increases [H+] by increasing PCO2 or by reducing [HCO3-] Alkalosis – process that reduces [H+] by reducing PCO2 or by increasing [HCO3-] Henderson Hasselbalch equation: pH = 6.1 + log [HCO3-]/ 0.03 PCO2 Since PCO2 is regulated by respiration, abnormalities that primarily alter the PCO2 are referred to as respiratory acidosis (high PCO2) and respiratory alkalosis (low PCO2). In contrast, [HCO3¯] is regulated primarily by renal processes. Abnormalities that primarily alter the [HCO3¯] are referred to as metabolic acidosis (low [HCO3¯]) and metabolic alkalosis (high [HCO3¯]).
Simple acid-base disturbance 1. metabolic acidosis concept: the primary disturbance is a decrease of [HCO-3] in the arterial plasma 1) cause and pathogenesis lactic acidosis: hypoxia, diabetes liver disease ketoacidosis: diabetes, starvation ① metabolic acidosis in severe renal failure: fixed acids increased AG salicylic acid acid poisoning: intake food
diarrhea; GI: intestinal suction (loss of intestinal fistula HCO-3) biliary fistula ② metabolic acidosis in early renal failure: normal AG NH3 secretion H+ secretion Renal tubular acidosis: kidney: depressant of C.A. (loss of acetazolamide HCO-3) intake of Cl- NaCl, NH4Cl Hyperkalemia
2) compensatory regulation ① buffer: ② respiratory compensation ③ cellular compensation ④ renal compensation [H+] : C.A. H+ secretion NH3 secretion [HCO-3] / [H2CO3] = 20:1 compensation acidosis [HCO-3] / [H2CO3] < 20:1 decompensation (SB AB BB BE PaCO2 AB < SB)
3) effect on body ① cardiovascular system hyperkalemia arrhythmia [H+] : contractility peripheral resistance ② central nervous system [H+] ATP , γ-amino butyric acid (somnolence, coma) 4) principles of treatment
2. respiratory acidosis concept: The primary disturbance is an elevation in plasma [H2CO3] 1) cause and pathogenesis Barbital depression of CNS head injury ① CO2 breathe paralysis of respiratory muscles out disease of airway or lung chest injury ② inhalation of CO2
cells: exchange of H+ and K+ kidney: secretion of H+ and NH3 2) compensation buffer: Hb-/HHb cells: exchange of H+ and K+ kidney: secretion of H+ and NH3 (PaCO2 SB AB BB BE AB>SB) 3) effect on body ① CNS CO2 Cerebral vascular dilatation, intracranial pressure headache, delirium CO2 narcosis respiration ② cardiovascular system
concept: the primary disturbance is 4) principles of treatment improve ventilation 3. metabolic alkalosis concept: the primary disturbance is an increase of [HCO-3] in the arterial plasma 1) causes and pathogenesis
digestive tract vomiting; gastric suction(loss of HCl) ①loss diuretics distal flow rate of H+ (furosemide) blood volume ADS kidney hyperaldosteronism H+-Na+exchange H+-K+exchange between Hypokalemia intra- and extra-cell renal secretion of H+ hypochloremia
NaHCO3 ②intake transfusion of banked blood of base (citrate) 2) compensation of the body ① respiration compensation are limited (hypoxia) ② cells compensation hypokalemia ③ kidney pH inhibition of carbonic anhydrase (C.A.) secretion of H+ (SB AB BB BE PaCO2 AB>SB)
inhibition of glutamate decarboxylase 3) effects on body inhibition of glutamate decarboxylase ① CNS γ-amino butyric acid dysphoria insanity pH brain-vessel dizziness contraction brain delirium O2 dissociation hypoxia Coma curve shifting to left ② neuromuscle pH free Ca2+ tic ③ hypokalemia arrhythmia
4) principles of treatment loss of H+ digestive tract diuretic ; hypokalemia 0.9%NaCl; KCl hyperaldosteronism antisterone; diamox( acetazolamide )
4. respiratory alkalosis concept: the primary disturbance is decrease of [H2CO3] in plasma 1) cause and pathogenesis hypotonic hypoxia pneumonia hyperventilation hysteria; fever; [NH3] hyperthyroidism misoperation of ventilator
respiration (slight inhibition) 2) compensation cells (exchange of H+-K+) kidney secretion of H+ (PaCO2 ; SB AB BB BE ; AB<SB) 3) effects on body It is as same as metabolic alkalosis. dizziness and convulsion are happened easily 4) principles of treatment inhalation of 5%CO2
Increased rate and depth of breathing ("Kussmaul breathing") Decreased heart rate (bradycardia)
