Compensatory Responses toPrimary Acid-Base Disorders
Disorder
Primary Change
Compensatory Response
Metabolic acidosis
Fall in plasma bicarbonate
For every 1 mEq/L decrease in bicarbonate,
the pCO2 falls by 1.2 mmHg
Metabolic alkalosis
Rise in plasma bicarbonate
For every 1 mEq/L rise in bicarbonate,
the pCO2 rises 0.6-0.7 mmHg
Respiratory acidosis
Rise in pCO2
Acute:
For every 10 mmHg rise in pCO2, the
bicarbonate rises 1 mEq/L
Chronic:
For every 10 mmHg rise in pCO2, the
bicarbonate rises 3.5 mEq/L
Respiratory alkalosis
Fall in pCO2
Acute:
For every 10 mmHg fall in pCO2, the
bicarbonate falls 2 mEq/L
Chronic:
For every 10 mmHg fall in pCO2, the
bicarbonate falls 4 mEq/L

SERUM ANION GAP [Na + K] + Unmeasured Cations = [Cl + HCO3] + Unmeasured Anions[Na + K] - [Cl + HCO3] =Unmeasured Anions (UC) - Unmeasured Cations (UC) . CAN OMIT K. [Na] - [Cl + HCO3) = UA-UC; Normal Value: 10+/- 2mEq/L. Increase in anion gap usually indicates an increase in unmeasured anions: albumin, PO4, SO4, anions of organic acids.

- RENAL EXCRETION OF ACIDThe kidneys must excrete 50 to 100 mEq of acid to regenerate the bicarbonate used to buffer the fixed acid generated from metabolism each dayThe daily acid load cannot be excreted unless all of the filtered HCO3 is reabsorbed Excretion of an acid urine is a necessary but not sufficient condition to excrete the daily acid load: free H+ concentration in the urine is very low (

Renal Acid-Base Regulation4000 mEq HCO3- filtered in proximal tubule must be reabsorbed - no net acid excretionMinimal urine pH is 4.5 only 40-80 mol per day can be excreted as free H+; Excretion of the daily acid load as free H+ would require 2000 liters of urine output/dayH+ is excreted in the form of urinary buffers, H2PO4- and NH4+

METABOLIC ACIDOSIS WITH INCREASED ANION GAPNaHCO3 + Lactic acid--->Na Lactate + CO3H2----> [Na] - [Cl +HCO3 + Lactate]
Usually caused by increased production of endogenous or exogenous organic acid
Salt (anion) may be quickly metabolized or excreted yielding a hyperchloremic acidosis

HYPERCHLOREMIC METABOLIC ACIDOSISHCL + NaHCO3---> NaCl and H2CO3--->CO2 +H2O Therefore: anion gap unchanged since [Na] - (increased [Cl] + decreased [HCO3]).Loss of HCO3 in stoolLoss of HCO3 in urine (RTA 2)Decreased excretion of NH4 (RTA 1 and 4 and renal failure)Increased production of acid but prompt excretion of anion (treatment of DKA, toluene)

METABOLIC ACIDOSIS:BICARBONATE THERAPYAvoid if metabolic acidosis is transient and moderate and renal function is adequate, particularly with increased anion gap acidosis, since anions of organic acids can regenerate HCO3
Only a small inmediate increase (2-3 mEq/L) in plasma [HCO3] is necessary to get patient out of danger if there is normal respiratory compensation

-
Therapy in Patients with Severe AcidosisInitial goal is to raise the pH to ~7.20decreased risk of arrhythmiasimproved cardiac contractility and responsiveness to catecholaminesFurther correction is generally not necessary acutelymay cause volume overloadmay reduce O2 delivery to the tissuesmay result in hypercarbia
-
METABOLIC ACIDOSIS:BICARBONATE THERAPYRapid I.V. administration of HCO3 is important only in patients with severe metabolic acidosisSerial Measurements of [HCO3]Give oral HCO3 if possibleAssume volume of distribution of HCO3 to be 50% of lean body weight
-
METABOLIC ACIDOSIS: BICARBONATE THERAPYChronic renal failure: HCO3, not citrate to avoid Aluminum absorption. Give a large dose for several days to achieve a [HCO3] of approx.20mEq/L. Maintenance dose of about 40 mEq/dayChronic RTA 1: 1-2 mEq/Kg/day of Na-K citrate after increasing [HCO3] to desired levelRTA 2: 10-15 mEq/Kg/dayRTA 4: Correct hyperkalemia
