Difference between Metabolic Acidosis and Respiratory Acidosis

The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between Metabolic Acidosis and Respirator Acidosis. Difference # Metabolic Acidosis: 1. Bicarbonate (HCO3-) deficit. 2. pH lowered. 3. Respiratory-low pH stimulates respiratory centre causing decrease in [H2CO3]. 4. Urinary pH-acidic. 5. Abnormal increase in anions due to endogenous production of acid ions, ingestion of acidifying salts, and renal insufficiency. 6. Abnormal [...]

Difference between Metabolic Alkalosis and Respiratory Alkalosis | Acid-Base Regulation

The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between Metabolic Alkalosis and Respiratory Alkalosis. Difference # Metabolic Alkalosis: 1. HCO3- excess. 2. pH increased. 3. Disproportionate increase in [HCO3- ], [H2CO3], PCO2, pH. 4. Depression of respiratory centre and hyperventilation leading to retention of CO2. 5. In renal mechanism, there is increased NH3 formation and H+ - Na+ exchange, [...]
