Sour makes you funny? I already mentioned in my video about blood gas analysis that this saying does not always apply. In it I also mentioned so-called acidosis. And it is precisely this acidosis that I am now discussing. #hyperacidity #acidosis #phvalue #acidicblood Acidosis is a serious illness and should under no circumstances be taken lightly. It is not hyperacidity as it is commonly understood. Acidosis is diagnosed using a blood gas analysis. The pH value is always measured in the BGA. If this is below 7.35, acidosis is present. There can be two different reasons for this: 1. metabolic acidosis and 2. respiratory acidosis. To put it very simply: metabolic acidosis means that hyperacidity occurs due to metabolic processes. In the case of respiratory acidosis, on the other hand, as the word respiratory suggests, it is due to air or ventilation disorders. Metabolic acidosis Metabolic acidosis is when the proportion of acids in the blood is increased. This can happen if you suffer from diarrhea and therefore excrete more bicarbonate. Bicarbonate acts as a type of buffer because it is alkaline and can therefore balance out the increasing acid content of the blood. Bicarbonate is alkaline, acts as a buffer and can balance out acidosis. The more bicarbonate we excrete, the more acidic the blood becomes. Another cause of metabolic acidosis can be that more acids accumulate in the blood. This can be triggered by various diseases, e.g. diabetes mellitus or kidney failure. There are therefore two main groups: either too little alkaline bicarbonate or too many "acidic acids". Both logically cause metabolic acidosis. Respiratory acidosis The most important thing: carbon dioxide is acidic. The term 'respiratory' already indicates that this is a breathing problem. Carbon dioxide is formed in the body in many different processes. If this exchange does not work properly, the blood becomes over-acidified. The reasons for this can be illnesses that lead to restricted breathing, e.g. asthma or COPD. There are also a number of medications, particularly painkillers, that lead to respiratory weakness. In addition, respiratory function is weakened after long-term ventilation and it must be thoroughly checked whether enough carbon dioxide is being released.
