Acidosis is a condition in which there is too much acid in the body fluids. The lungs and kidneys preserve the balance of chemicals called acids and bases in the body. Acidosis happens when acid constructs up or when bicarbonate is lost. Acidosis is categorized as either respiratory or metabolic acidosis. Chest defects, such as kyphosis; Chest injuries; Chest muscle mass weak point; Long-term lung disease; Neuromuscular disorders, such as myasthenia gravis, muscle dystrophy; Overuse of sedative drugs; Diabetic acidosis develops when substances called ketone bodies construct up throughout unrestrained diabetes. Hyperchloremic acidosis is triggered by the loss of too much sodium bicarbonate from the body, which can occur with severe looseness of the bowels. Metabolic acidosis itself causes quick breathing. Complication or sleepiness might additionally occur. Severe metabolic acidosis can lead to shock or fatality.
