Treatment of acidosis in Nikolaev

For the normal course of metabolic processes in the body, certain stable conditions are necessary. The most important of these is the pH level of physiological fluids. Violation of the acid-base balance and lowering the pH below the level of 7.35 is called acidosis. Such a change can lead to serious consequences which include abnormalities in the work of the central nervous system, cardiovascular system (risk of vascular thrombosis and myocardial infarction, blood pressure spiking), deficiency of oxygen and nutrition of the whole body tissues.

Causes and symptoms

Acidosis is based on an increase in the synthesis of organic acids in the blood and tissues of organs or a violation of the process of their excretion from the body. Based on the mechanism of the disease development, there are following types:

• gas acidosis, or respiratory acidosis (CO2 is not excreted, but accumulates in the blood, changing its gas composition);
• metabolic acidosis or non-respiratory acidosis (organic acids accumulate in the blood, reducing its pH level).

Causes of acidification of the internal environment can be both other diseases (diabetes, kidney disease) and taking medications, and inhaling air with an increased content of CO2.

At an early stage, acidosis is not manifested with specific signs, but indirectly it can be indicated by symptoms such as:

• chronic fatigue and shortness of breath;
• arrhythmia and unstable blood pressure;
• change in the amount of urine;
• muscle weakness and cramps;
• the appearance of odor from the mouth (for example, fruit), etc.
