Acidosis

:For acidosis referring to acidity of the urine, see renal tubular acidosis.Acidosis is an increased acidity . If not further qualified, it refers to acidity of the blood plasma. Acidosis is said to occur when arterial pH falls below 7.35, while its counterpart occurs at a pH over 7.45. Arterial blood gas analysis and other tests are required to separate the main causes.The term acidemia describes the state of low blood pH, while acidosis is used to describe the processes leading to these states. Nevertheless, physicians sometimes use the terms interchangeably. The distinction may be relevant where a patient has factors causing both acidosis and alkalosis, where the relative severity of both determines whether the result is a high or a low pH.The rate of cellular metabolic activity affects and, at the same time, is affected by the pH of the body fluids. In mammals, the normal pH of arterial blood lies between 7.35 and 7.50 depending on the species . Blood pH values compatible with life in mammals are limited to a pH range between 6.8 and 7.8. Changes in the pH of arterial blood outside this range result in irreversible cell damage . (From the Wikpedia article Acidosis.)
