Abstrakt | In order for the many enzyme processes to function properly, the human body must maintain an equilibrium of its acids and bases. The term to measure the amount of acidity is called pH, which is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions. The normal value for the pH plasma is 7,35 to 7,45. If the pH is lower, this results in what we call acidosis, if the pH is higher it is called alkalosis. Buffers (bicarbonate, phosphate or protein) are substances that inhibit the changes in the concentration of the hydrogen ions. This concentration also depends on the excretion of carbon dioxide by the lungs and the excretion of metabolic acids and bicarbonates through the kidney. Problems in the acid-base equilibrium take place when the primary change in the concentration of bicarbonates occurs. This disorder is called metabolic disturbance (metabolic acidosis, alkalosis). However, when the primary changes happen in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) this results in what we call respiratory acid-base balance disorder (respiratory acidosis or alkalosis). These metabolic disorders are compensated by the lungs, where respiratory disorders are compensated by the kidney. | |
