Does vomiting cause acidosis?

summary

Acidosis is caused by the accumulation of acidic substances, which leads to the increase of hydrogen ion concentration and the decrease of pH value in human body, resulting in headache, nausea, respiratory distress, chest tightness, shortness of breath and other symptoms. Acidosis is divided into metabolic acidosis and respiratory acidosis. Metabolic acidosis is prone to complications, mainly metabolic bone disease, hyperkalemia and malnutrition. The treatment of acidosis focuses on the specific analysis and treatment according to the etiology. What symptom does vomiting cause acidosis to have? Let's talk about it.

Does vomiting cause acidosis?

The significant characteristics of metabolic acidosis are continuous decrease of pH value and primary decrease of plasma. Metabolic acidosis will first affect the cardiovascular system, acidosis will make electrolyte disorders, leading to arrhythmia; Secondly, it will bring pressure to the respiratory system, manifested as the aggravation and deepening of breathing; In addition, it will affect the gastrointestinal system, patients will have abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.

Respiratory acidosis is mainly manifested as shortness of breath, dyspnea, blurred consciousness or coma, people will be more irritable. Respiratory acidosis may be caused by sedatives or anesthetics, upper airway obstruction, respiratory myasthenia or lung disease.

Metabolic bone disease may occur in the treatment of metabolic acidosis, which is mainly caused by the long-term calcium out of bone; Metabolic acidosis can also decompose a large amount of protein, resulting in malnutrition; In addition, metabolic acidosis is often accompanied by hyperkalemia. However, it should be noted that some patients may also have hypokalemia, such as diabetic patients and patients with diarrhea. When treating them, we should observe the potassium content in serum more, and if there is potassium loss, we should supplement potassium in time.
