Acidosis

Kidney stones are hardened mineral deposits or concretion of waste formed in the kidney. They form from an over abundance or under abundance of a urinary chemical and not enough water to dissolve all the waste products, minerals, and compounds that the kidney is trying to excrete. They can cause a blockage, which can cause extreme pain. Tennessee has the highest report of kidney stones than any other state in America. According to Alexander (2005), “Kidney stones are one of the most common…

Patients who undergo cardiac surgery may also be at an increased risk for cyanide toxicity. Signs and symptoms of cyanide toxicity may include: hyperoxemia, metabolic acidosis, CNS dysfunction (confusion) and possibly death. Patients at higher risk for developing cyanide toxicity from nitroprusside infusions are those with hypoalbuminemia, cardiopulmonary bypass procedures, renal impairment, or those being administered…

cells in the pancreas, resulting in impaired insulin production and hyperglycemia. Patients often present for the first time to the emergency department with diabetic ketoacidosis – this potentially fatal condition is characterized by metabolic acidosis, ketoacids in the serum and urine, severe dehydration, cardiovascular instability, and respiratory distress. If left untreated, patients will typically die. Type I diabetes is very difficult to control and typically requires the help of an…

Cows are given corn for food, which contains chemicals such as ethanol, then later slaughtered for meat. Between 90-120 days of the cows devouring large amounts of corn, they form ulcers and can become ill and die. They die from an illness called “acidosis” so cattle owners have to kill and get rid of their meat sooner before this…

Acute accumulation of BLa can induce metabolic acidosis which sequentially can decrease the work capacity of a person’s muscles leading to a decrease in performance (Myers J, Ashley E (1997);Neric et al.,(2009). Force production recovers almost fully while muscle pH remains depressed during recovery,…

and thrombocytopenia aggravated. O2 saturation dropped to 90%, tachycardia of HR 150 and high BP of 180/85 were checked, and mental drowsiness was observed. Laboratory findings showed acute hepatic failure and prolongation of PT/aPTT with metabolic acidosis. Her condition rapidly deteriorated and eventually died of shock??? Later on, BM trephine biopsy revealed ????. Tryptase level exceeded 200. Six out of 200 samples showed 3 positive signals on a FISH analysis with RUNX1/RUNX1T1. PML/RARA,…

Vital signs are objective measures of physiological function that are used to monitor acute and chronic disease and thus serve as a basic communication tool about patient status.1 Vital signs consist of the measurements of heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. Vital signs are used to monitor patient’s health status and also to monitor their recovery from certain diseases. Numerous physiological and pathological changes may occur with age and alter vital signs.1…

Introduction Beside the increase in O2 and CO2, there is a compromise of lactate acid and acid- base balance from a high intensity exercise. The factors that avoid this change in the homeostatic limits are PO2 and PCO2, and pH. Which are maintained form increase in oxygen delivery to the alveoli and CO2 exhalation from the body (King, 2018). Acid- Base balance are affected by hydrogen ions which are formed from the lost of electrons. When a molecule releases hydrogen ion it is determined as…

Sepsis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Sepsis is known as the medical complication that is due to the acute immune response of the body against the infection. The biochemicals that are spread in the blood stream to remove the infection causes swelling in the body. This inflammation becomes the root cause for organ damage and even the blood clotting during sepsis results in obstructed blood flow to limbs and internal organs that block the flow of nutrients and oxygen. In severe conditions,…
