Acidosis can cause weakness, nausea and confusion, while alkalosis is associated with irritability, muscle twitching and convulsions. In the extreme, both conditions can be fatal.

Coupled with earlier animal research, these results support the hypothesis that alkalosis could be a trigger that sets off febrile seizures in susceptible children, and that acidosis related to an ...

Acidosis arises when acids accumulate in the blood and body or when bicarbonate (an alkali) levels drop. There are two main types of acidosis, defined by their underlying cause, as follows: ...

An HCO3- of greater than 27 reflects a metabolic alkalosis (excess of base), and a HCO3- of less than 24 reflects a metabolic acidosis (deficit of base). The base excess (BE) measures the amount of ...

When two opposing disorders (alkalosis and acidosis) occursimultaneously, the pH is determined by the predominant disorder. In some cases the pH might be normal in the presence of amixed acid-base ...

In addition, patients classified as having acidosis had the greatest prevalence of hyperlactatemia (43.7%), followed by patients with alkalosis (42.0%) or a normal blood pH (31.0%).
