renal 7 Acid base imbalances: part 1

what is blood pH usually maintained at?

7.4

1 of 8

blood pH is dependent of what ratio concentration by the modified Henderson
Hasselbalch equation

bicarbonate anion conc. to carbon dioxide partial pressure

2 of 8

when Describing acid base imbalances, you refer to origin and nature. Origin refers to what

to the cause of the imbalance in terms of either: a change in carbon dioxide level (i.e. respiratory origin, typically involving either hypo- or hyperventilation); or change in bicarbonate level for any reason (i.e. metabolic origin, typically involving c

when Describing acid base imbalances, you refer to origin and nature. Nature refers to what

The nature is simply how pH is affected, either down (acidosis direction) or up (alkalosis direction). In addition, metabolic acidosis can be further characterised and diagnosed by reporting the anion gap, resulting in either a high anion gap metabolic ac

what is The anion gap is numerically defined as?

difference between the (typically serum) concentration of prevalent cations and anions

5 of 8

compensation of acid base imbalance is reachieving blood pH of 7.4
, select the incorrect method

altered renal function (carbonate absorption + generation) in RENAL COMPENSATION

6 of 8

if origin of acid base imbalance is respiratory what is the term affected, compensation, and correction

term affected- pCO2, compensation- renal, correction-respiratory

7 of 8

if origin of acid base imbalance is metabolic what is the term affected, compensation, and correction

term affected- HCO3, compensation- respiratory, correction-renal
