Acidosis & Alkalosis Thi

This is a state of alkalosis (Grogono, 2005). The low PCO2 is compensating for respiratory alkalosis. It could be caused by kidney failure or diabetic ketoacidosis (Alkalosis, 2006).

2) pH 7.22, PCO2 30 mmHg, HCO3 12.0 mEq/L

This is a state of acidosis (Grogono, 2005). The low PCO2 is compensating for metabolic acidosis (Acidosis, 2005). The cause could be anxiety and tension or the ingestion of aspirin.

2. The amount of water and salts in the body is controlled by processes of osmoregulation (Purchon, 2000). The hypothalamus detects changes in the levels of water in the blood and if the level is too low, it signals the pituitary to release anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). ADH works on the kidneys, inducing them to reabsorb more water. As the blood becomes less concentrated, a negative feedback loop acts on the hypothalamus, signaling that the blood volume is correct, and it turns off the signal to the pituitary, turning off the release of
