	Metabolic acidosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Metabolic acidosis is either due to increased generation of acid or an inability to generate sufficient bicarbonate.
		The elevated bicarbonate that distinguishes metabolic acidosis is therefore due to two separate processes: the buffer (from water and carbon dioxide) and additional renal generation.
		If the acidosis is particularly severe and/or there may be intoxication, consultation with the nephrology team is considered useful, as dialysis may clear both the intoxication and the acidosis.

		Acidosis is a condition characterized by excessive acid in the body fluids.
		Acidosis is caused by an accumulation of acid or a significant loss of bicarbonate.
		Lactic acidosis is an accumulation of lactic acid.

	Metabolic Acidosis \| aHealthyAdvantage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Metabolic acidosis is a pH imbalance in which the body has accumulated too much acid and does not have enough bicarbonate to effectively neutralize the effects of the acid.
		Metabolic acidosis, as a disruption of the body's acid/base balance, can be a mild symptom brought on by a lack of insulin, a starvation diet, or a gastrointestinal disorder like vomiting and diarrhea.
		Metabolic acidosis is suspected based on symptoms, but is usually confirmed by laboratory tests on blood and urine samples.

		Metabolic acidosis most commonly stimulates the central and peripheral chemoreceptors that control respiration, resulting in an increase in alveolar ventilation, which results in a compensatory respiratory alkalosis.
		Metabolic acidosis with a high AG is associated with the addition of endogenously- or exogenously-generated acids.
		Since metabolic acidosis is a condition that occurs in response to a variety of disease states, the prognosis is directly related to the underlying etiology and the ability to treat or correct that particular disorder.

		Metabolic acidosis occurs in a number of diseases and even certain normal activities such as heavy exercise.
		Although the magnitude of acidosis is important, the ultimate pathophysiological impact of any metabolic acidosis is defined by the rate of change and the specific cause of the acidosis.
		Metabolic acidosis is a common problem accompanying and complicating a large number of diseases, especially those in critically ill patients, whose care routinely involves respiratory therapists.

		In the intensive care unit acidosis is usually more of a problem than alkalosis, and in the critically ill the most common sources of metabolic acidosis are disorders of chloride homeostasis, lactate, and other anions.
		Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis occurs either as a result of chloride administration or secondary to abnormalities in chloride handling or related to movements of chloride from one compartment to another.

		Metabolic acidosis is defined by an arterial blood pH of less than 7.35 with a plasma bicarbonate concentration of less than 22 mmol/L (see related article Metabolic Acidosis).
		Lactic acidosis also may occur in association with an underlying disease, such as diabetes mellitus, severe iron-deficiency anemia, liver diseases, alcoholic ketoacidosis, pancreatitis, malignancy (eg, leukemias, lymphomas, lung cancer), alkalosis, infections (malaria, cholera), renal failure, pheochromocytoma, thiamine deficiency, short gut syndrome and other carbohydrate malabsorption syndromes (eg, d-lactic acidosis), and milk protein intolerance.
		Severe metabolic acidosis with arterial pH of less that 7.20 is associated with impaired cardiac contractility and altered responses to exogenous catecholamines.

		Causes of high-anion-gap metabolic acidosis can be further divided into (1) acidosis with an organic source (ie, lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis [whether diabetic, alcoholic, or starvation], and renal failure) and (2) acidosis resulting from ingestion of a toxin (eg, methanol, ethylene glycol, salicylate).
		In metabolic acidosis, NH excretion should increase dramatically if renal acidification is intact (as in diarrhea), resulting in a large negative urine anion gap (ie, -20 to -50 mEq/L).

		An alternative to the above, is to classify the causes of metabolic acidosis into two groups depending on whether the anion gap is elevated or normal.
		The term 'hyperchloraemic metabolic acidosis' is also often used for the 'normal anion gap' group but the terms are not really synonomous (as discussed in section 8.4).
		This is the most clinically useful way to classify metabolic acidosis and it is used extensively when assessing metabolic acidosis.

		Mortality/Morbidity: The causes of metabolic acidosis are varied, and the morbidity and mortality of this disorder are primarily related to the underlying condition.
		Metabolic acidosis is usual in patients with renal failure, and, in early to moderate stages of renal failure (eg, glomerular filtration rate of 20-50 mL/min), it is associated with a normal AG (hyperchloremic).
		The metabolic acidosis in DKA is commonly a high-AG acidosis secondary to the presence of ketones in the blood.

	Med&Tech-MuscleWasting
		Muscle wasting or weakness in CRF cats is generally caused by three things: (1) potassium deficiency (hypokalemia), (2) metabolic acidosis, or (3) long-term use of a low-protein diet.
		Signs of muscle wasting from either potassium deficiency or metabolic acidosis include: (a) muscle weakness, though in the early stages of muscle wasting this would be easy to confuse with low potassium; and (b) increased bony prominences.
		If you view your cat from behind when s/he is standing, is s/he "knock-kneed?" (The joint you are really looking at is the ankle.) Cats that lose their muscle mass not only lose the ability to run and jump, but they also lose proper posture.

	Editorial Letters: Metabolic Acidosis in Restraint-associated Cardiac Arrest
		First, a good portion of the metabolic acidosis may have simply been due to cardiopulmonary arrest, as blood gas sampling seems to have taken place after the initial arrest and resuscitation efforts on these patients.
		We agree with Dr. Chan and colleagues that the acidosis observed in our patients almost certainly had its genesis in the profound physical exertion before and during their restraint process, and concur that the restraint position itself is unlikely to generate a profound acidosis.
		Additionally, cocaine was likely pivotal in the development of severe metabolic acidosis in our series, but without serum evidence of concurrent cocaine intoxication in two of our five cases of cardiopulmonary arrest, we did not wish to overstate this association.
