Acid-base assessment is an indicator of blood gas analysis results, and a low level may be associated with metabolic acidosis, such as elevated lactic acid and diabetic ketoacidosis, as well as respiratory acidosis caused by airway obstruction and central respiratory depression.
The indicator of pH is commonly found in the results of blood gas analysis of blood. When the pH is low, it suggests that there are more hydrogen ions and it is acidic.
1. Therefore, when the blood pH is low, it may indicate the existence of acidosis in the body, such as acidosis caused by elevated lactic acid, acidosis caused by diabetic ketoacidosis, acidosis caused by acid excretion disorder of uremia, and other metabolic acidosis.
2. In addition, can also be seen in the airway obstruction, respiratory center inhibition, respiratory paralysis can cause alveolar ventilation weakened, resulting in respiratory acidosis, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
When the body has a low acid-base level, it is necessary to clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of a doctor and actively treat it.
