Question:medium

Primary changes in Acid Base disorders are:

Show Hint

Metabolic concerns Bicarbonate ($\text{HCO}_{3}^{-}$) changes in the same direction as pH. Respiratory concerns $P_{\text{CO}_{2}}$ changes in the opposite direction of pH.

  • Metabolic acidosis: decreased plasma bicarbonate and Respiratory acidosis: decreased $P_{\text{CO}_{2}}$ \
  • Metabolic alkalosis: decreased plasma bicarbonate and Respiratory alkalosis: decreased $P_{\text{CO}_{2}}$ \
  • Metabolic acidosis: decreased plasma bicarbonate and Respiratory alkalosis: decreased $P_{\text{CO}_{2}}$ \
  • Respiratory alkalosis: decreased $P_{\text{CO}_{2}}$ and Respiratory acidosis: decreased $P_{\text{CO}_{2}}$
