Pathophysiology/Acid -Base Balance

by Scott
Across
This buffer system uses HPO4 and H2PO4 that are present in tubular filtrate.
Term for increase in plasma CO2.
Proteins that function as either acids or bases are termed this.
Acidic toxicity of plasma is usually treated by doing this to plasma.
Much of the buffering of excess H+ in tubular fluid in acidosis occurs through this buffer system.
This enzymes occurs in many organisms and facilitates the interconversion between alcohols and aldehydes or ketones with the reduction of NAD.
This constant describes the degree to which an acid or base in a buffer system dissociates.
Systemic disorder caused by an increase in plasma pH due to a primary excess in HCO3-.
This acid is produced by the anerobic metabolism of glucose.
Common in poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, body produces high levels of keto acids.
This major mineralcorticoid can also influence H+ elimination by the kidney.
Type of breathing, similar to hyperventilation often associated with severe metabolic acidosis.
This carbonic enzyme generates H2CO3 from CO2 and water is catalyzed by it.
Also called Lasix.
Down
Abbreviated term for acid strength. For acids, the smaller of this, the more acidic the substance.
Respiratory alkalosis, acid -base disorder given by a primary decrease in plasma PCO2.
This type of acidosis involves a decrease in plasma HCO3- concentration along with a pH decrease.
Type of alkalosis refers to an increase in pH induced by excess HCO3- reabsorption due to a decrease in Cl- levels.
Acid-base ___________, term concerned with proper balance between acids and bases. (physiology).
This type of acidosis is given by a decrease in pH, reflecting a decrease in ventilation and an increase in PCO2.
The treatment of acute and chronic respiratory acidosis is directed toward simply improving this.
Syndrome resulting from the chronic ingestion of milk or calcium carbonate antacids leads to hypercalcemia and metabolic acidosis.
A clinical sign of nerve hyperexcitability(tetany) seen in hypocalcemia. Think facial nerve.
Diagnostic tool describes the difference between the plasma concentration of the major measured cation(Na+) and the sum of measured anions (Cl- and HCO3-).
This glycol product is found in products such as antifreeze.
This system consists of a weak base and a conjugate acid pair or a weak acid and its conjugate base pair.
All body fluids outside of cells. abbreviation.
