What is metabolic acidosis

summary

My grandmother has been suffering from diabetes for several years. A few days ago, she suddenly had vomiting and diarrhea. She was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment and was diagnosed with metabolic acidosis. We were confused about this disease. Now let's talk about what metabolic acidosis is.

What is metabolic acidosis

First, lactic acid acidosis is a common cause of metabolic acidosis. The common causes are insufficient tissue perfusion or acute hypoxia, or some drugs or diseases. The main manifestations of metabolic acidosis are cardiovascular acidosis, respiratory system changes, gastrointestinal reactions, gastrointestinal reactions are abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and so on.

Second, pH in human arterial blood is the negative logarithm of H + concentration in blood, which is normally 7. 35～7。 45, the equilibrium value is 7. 40。 The intake of H + in body fluid is very low, which is mainly endogenous in the process of metabolism. The body has quite perfect regulation mechanism for acid-base load, mainly including buffering, compensation and correction.

Third: if the Ag value is high and there are diseases or factors causing lactic acidosis, exogenous supplement of HCO3 - can not make the plasma concentration of HCO3 - increase steadily, which indicates the continuous production of acid in the body. In the case of highly suspected lactic acidosis, the determination of plasma lactic acid level, more than 4mmol / L, can be used to diagnose lactic acidosis.

matters needing attention

In the treatment process of metabolic acidosis, patients should actively face the disease, cooperate with the doctor's treatment, promote the improvement of the disease and recover as soon as possible. We can not ignore the severity of the disease, otherwise it will aggravate the disease.
