ventilation status changes pCO2




fast compensatory mechanism

Respiratory (lung)

increase in acid production of loss of bicarbonate




slow compensatory mechanism

Metabolic (kidney)

Renal pH regulation mechanism

increase activity of H/Na ATPase


~H out of cell, Na in cell




excrete H as H2PO4 or NH4




increase HCO3 reabsoption

How is pCO2 regulated

by the depth and frequency of respiration


breathing slow=




breathing fast =

Hypoventilation




Hyperventilation

increase in ventilation




increase in pCO2 and increase [H+]




decrease in pO2

Hypoventilation

decrease in ventilation




decrease in pCO2 and [H+]




increaes in pO2

Hyperventilation

Changes in [H+] are always associated with either:

change in [anions]




exchange with other cations




(H increases is accompainined by either increase in anion , Cl or Lactate, or in exchange for a cation, K or Na)





A cells secrete

acid

B cells secrete

base

abnormal decreased plasma [HCO3]




Due to:


production of organic acids


reduced excretion of acid


excessive loss of bicarbonate

Metabolic acidosis

Is the ratio of [HCO3/H2CO3] increased or decreased in metabolic acidosis




what effect does this have on the [H] and pH

The ratio is decreased




increase in H




decrease in pH

What does metabolic acidosis induce

respiratory compensation by hyperventilation


~wanting to restore the ratio to 20:1


~decrease pCO2




renal compensation through increased acid excretion and base reabsorption

Cause of Metabolic acidosis is based on the presence/absence of

anion gap

Adding more acid


Losing less acid


Losing more base

Acidosis

Adding more base


Losing less base


Losing more acid

Alkalosis

H+ and HCO3- are coupled to transport of ____and _____-, so changes to levels of either of those electrolyes can inhibit the kidney from compensating properly for acidemia/alkalemia

Cl and K

Kidney can’t reabsorb any HCO3- if _______, any excess excreted in urine

>28mmol/L

produced by unmeasured anions (lactate and BHOB)

MUD PILES

Anion gap

What is the normal range for anion gap

7-16 mmol/L

M

Methanol
Uremia of renal failure
Dka
Paraldehyde
Iisoniazid, iron, ischemia
Lactate
Ethlylene glycol
Salicylate

metabolism of fatty acids by beta-oxidation




produces actoacetic acid and beta-hydroxybutyrate




anion gap




seen in diabetics, alcholics, malnourished

Ketoacidosis

anaerobic metabolism of glucose by muscle and RBC produces lactate




Anion gap




seen in severe tissue hypoxia and some ingestions

Lactic acidosis

What can cause metabolic acidosis

Diarrhea


Renal Failure (GFR <20)


Renal tubular acidosis


~Type I and Type II


Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors

primarily abnormality is increased plasma [HCO3]




Due to:


production of excess base


reduced excretion of base


excesive loss of acid-rich fluids

Metabolic alkalosis

Is the ratio [HCO3/H2CO3] increased or decreased in metabolic alkalosis




What about [H+] and pH

increased




H decreased




increase in pH

What does metabolic acidosis induce

hypoventilation (incr pCO2)




decrease acid excretion and base reabsorption

The cause of alkalosis is identified based on what

Chloride responce

occurs as a result of hypovolemia




In responce to decr blood volume


~aldosternone causes kidney to retain Na, Cl, HCO3 and excrete K and H


~urine becomes acidic with low HCO3 and Cl


~urine Cl<10 mmol/L

Chloride (saline) resonsive alkalosis

What can cause chloride responsive alkalosis

vomiting, upper duodenal obstruction and some diluretics

occurs as a result of another underlying disease or due to addition of exogenous base




Causes: Mineralocorticoid or glucocorticoid excess; exogenous base

Chloride resistant alkalosis

___ competes with H+ for H+/Na+ ATPase in renal tubule

K

if K is ____, it will be exchanged instead of H+, leading to acidosis

Hight

if K is ____, it will be exchanged instead of H+, leading to alkalosis

low

primarly abnormality is increased pCO2




Caused by direct depression or direct obstruction of respiratory




Ratio of [HCO3-]/[H2CO3] decreased, leading to increased [H+] and decreased pH




want to decrease the pCO2

Respiratory acidosis

Compensationoccurs first via what in respiratory acidosis

plasma proteins

primarily abnormality is decreased pCO2 (acute or chronic)




caused by increased rate or depth of breathing, aicd eliminatedas CO2




Ratio of [HCO3-]/[H2CO3] increased, leading to decreased [H+] and increased pH

Respiratory Alkalosis

Compensation for resp alkalosis by plasma proteins by

donate H+ to restore [HCO3-]/[H2CO3] ratio
