pH Review
• pH = - log [H+]
• H+ is really a proton!!
• Range is from 0 – 14
• If [H+] is high, the solution is acidic; pH < 7
• If [H+] is low, the solution is basic or alkaline ; pH > 7
![Page 3: Acid-Base Physiology. 2 pH Review pH = - log [H + ] H + is really a proton!! Range is from 0 – 14 If [H + ] is high, the solution is acidic; pH < 7 If](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e715503460f94b6ed16/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
How Can You Actually Determine the pH of a Solution?
• Use a pH meter.
• Litmus paper – acidic or alkaline.
• Use pH paper (color patterns indicate pH).
• Titrate the solution with precise amounts of base or acid in conjunction with a soluble dye, like Phenolphthalein, whose color changes when a specific pH is reached.

pH scale – to express hydrogen ion concentration.
pH = - log10 [H+] or
pH = log 1 / [H+] log to the base 10 of the reciprocal of hydrogen-ion concentration.
1) Because [H+] is in the denominator,A high [H+] low pH andA low [H+] high pH.2) pH unit change of 1 = 10X change in [H+]
The [H+] of ECF is very low (0.00004 mEq/L = 40 nmoles/L). Normal variations are are markably small 3-5 nEq/L. It is customary to express these very small numbers using thelogarithmic pH scale.

The Conceptual Problem with pH
• Because it’s a logarithmic scale, it doesn’t make “sense” to our brains.
• EASY TO REMEMBER FACTS :- • Every factor of 10 difference in [H+] represents 1.0 pH units, • Every factor of 2 difference in [H+] represents 0.3 pH units.
• Therefore, even numerically small differences in pH, can have profound biological effects…

Importance Of Maintenance Of pH Between 7.35 - 7.45(7.4)Acidosis pH<7.35 and AlkalosispH>7.45.Death occurs if Ph falls outside the range of 6.8 to 8.0
• Altered [H+] results in changes in protein structure (Enzymes, Receptors and ligands, Ion channels,Transporters,Structural proteins)
• Function of excitable tissues• Acidosis: hypoexcitability, CNS depression• Alkalosis: hyperexcitability, tetany
• Affects K+ levels in the body.

Relationship of pH with K +
• When H+ increases in extracellular fluid it is exchanged with K+
• Metabolic acidosis Hyperkalemia• Metabolic alkalosis Hypokalemia
• RENAL TUBULAR ACIDOSIS FAILURE TO EXCRETE H+ K+ IS LOST IN URINE HYPOKALEMIA
• Rem :- SUDDEN HYPOKALEMIA MAY DEVELOP IN CORRECTION OF ACIDOSIS AS IN DKA WITH INSULIN THERAPY

The body produces more acids than bases• Acids taken with foods…
• Lime juice , Most fruit juices, Colas….
• Acids produced by metabolism of lipids and proteins.
• Cellular metabolism produces CO2.CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3 ↔ H+ + HCO3

Continuous addition of H+ ions to the body fluids and 3 Lines Of Defense Against pH Changes due to this:
• Buffering• Changes in ventilation• Changes in renal handling of
H+ and HCO3-

The Body and pH
• Homeostasis of pH is tightly controlled• Extracellular fluid = 7.4• Blood = 7.35 – 7.45• < 6.8 or > 8.0 death occurs• Acidosis (acidemia) below 7.35• Alkalosis (alkalemia) above 7.45

Mechanisms of Regulation of pH
• FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE : BLOOD BUFFERS
• SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE :- RESPIRATORY REGULATION
• THIRD LINE OF DEFENSE :RENAL REGULATION

Three major mechanisms1. Buffer systems. Buffers act quickly to temporarily bind
H+ removing the highly reactive, excess H+ from solution. Buffers thus raise pH of body fluids but do not remove H+ from the body.
2. Exhalation of carbon dioxide. By increasing the rate and depth of breathing, more carbon dioxide can be exhaled. Within minutes this reduces the level of carbonic acid in blood, which raises the blood pH (reduces blood H+ level).
3. Kidney excretion of H ion. The slowest mechanism, but the only way to eliminate acids other than carbonic acid, is through their excretion in urine.

Rates of correction
• Buffers function almost instantaneously
• Respiratory mechanisms take several minutes to hours
• Renal mechanisms may take several hours to days

Buffers • Defn:- Solutions which can resist changes in pH when
acid or alkali is added.• COMPOSITION OF A BUFFER :-
• A) Mixture of weak acids with their salt with a strong base• Mixtures of weak bases with their salt with a strong acid.eg
• H2CO3/NaHCO3 ( BICARBONATE BUFFER)• CH3COOH/CH3COONa (ACETATE BUFFER)• NaHPO4/NaH2PO4 ( PHOSPHATE BUFFER)

BUFFER SYSTEMS IN THE BODY
• FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE.
• THEY ARE EFFECTIVE AS LONG AS THE ACID LOAD IS NOT VERY HIGH .
• THE BODY’S ALKALI RESERVE SHOULD NOT BE EXHAUSTED- THIS HAS TO BE REPLENISHED ONCE EXHAUSTED.

• Normal bicarbonate level of plasma is 24mmol/L
• The normal pCO2 is 40mm Hg
• The normal carbonic acid concentration is 1.2 mmol/L

Remember these values!!

• pKa for carbonic acid is 6.1• So, applying Henderson –Hasselbalch’s equation
pH= pKa + log [HCO3- ]
[H2CO3] = 6.1 + log 24
1.2 = 6.1 + log 20
= 6.1 +1.3= 7.4

Relationship between (H+) and the members of a buffer pair is expresses using-Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
pH = pKa + log[HCO3-] / s*[PCO2 ]
pKa = 6.1(dissociation constant)

What Is The Central Message Of Henderson-Hasselbalch?
pH = pKa + log(HCO3- / s.PCO2)
Plasma pH is a simple function of the HCO3- : PCO2
ratioHCO3
- : PCO2 ↑ = pH ↑ (ALKALOSIS) : Could occur due to either HCO3
- ↑(Metabolic alkalosis) or PCO2 ↓ (respiratory alkalosis)HCO3
- : PCO2 ↓ = pH ↓( ACIDOSIS) : Could occur either HCO3
- ↓(metabolic acidosis)
or PCO2 ↑ (respiratory acidosis)

Protein Buffers• Buffering capacity of protein dependson the pKa value
of the ionizable side chains.• Includes hemoglobin• In general ,
• Carboxyl group gives up H+ • Amino Group accepts H+• Side chains that can buffer H+ are present on amino acids.

• In Alkalosis• there is an excess of HCO3–
over H+ in the tubular filterate, the excess HCO3– cannot be reabsorbed; therefore, the excess HCO3– is left in the tubules and eventually excreted into the urine, which helps correct the metabolic alkalosis.
• In Acidosis• there is excess H+ relative to
HCO3–, causing complete reabsorption of the bicarbonate; the excess H+ passes into the urine. The excess H+ is buffered in the tubules by phosphate and ammonia and eventually excreted as salts.

Causes• Hyperventilation(most common )
• Anxiety, Hysteria etc
• Conditions that stimulate respiratory center:• Oxygen deficiency at high altitudes• Pulmonary disease and Congestive heart failure – caused by
hypoxia • Acute anxiety• Fever, anemia• Meningitis• Cirrhosis• Gram-negative sepsis

Compensation of Respiratory Alkalosis
• Kidneys conserve hydrogen ion
• Excrete more bicarbonate ion( i.e less is resorbed)

Treatment of Respiratory Alkalosis
• Treat underlying cause
• Breathe into a paper bag
• IV Chloride containing solution – Cl-
ions replace lost bicarbonate ions

Metabolic Acidosis• Bicarbonate deficit - blood concentrations of bicarb drop
below 22mEq/L• Causes:
• Loss of bicarbonate through diarrhea or renal dysfunction• Accumulation of acids (lactic acid or ketones)• Failure of kidneys to excrete H+

Symptoms of Metabolic Acidosis
• Headache, lethargy• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea• Coma• Death

• Actually the sum of CATIONS and ANIONS in ECF is always equal.
• There is no gap whatsoever .
• The unmeasured anions constiute the anion gap .( 12± 5 mmol/L)

Anion Gap In Metabolic Acidosis• Anion gap:
[Na+] - ([Cl-] + [HCO3-]) = 8-16 mmol/L
• If > 18, there are unmeasured anions, such as:• lactate• ketones• salicylate• ethanol• ethylene glycol (anti-freeze)

Explanation• Say , 5mmol/L Lactic Acid has entered the circulation
Lactate + H+
• Buffered by HCO3-
• 5mmol/L Lactate + 5mmol/L H2CO3
• H2CO3 H2O + CO2 (LUNGS)• Finally what has happened
• HCO3- LOWERED +5 mmol/L of UNMEASURED ANION
(LACTATE )• NO CHANGES IN Na+/K+
• ELEVATED ANION GAP

So what does this mean?
• Lactic Acid + HCO3 ↔ lactate- + H2O + CO2
So increasing Lactic acid leads to lactate replacing HCO3
If anion gap is unchanged in metabolic acidosis suggest other reason for acidosis (eg diarrhoea – loss of HCO3 but gain in Cl-

Metabolic Alkalosis
• Bicarbonate excess - concentration in blood is greater than 26 mEq/L• Causes:
• Excess vomiting = loss of stomach acid• Excessive use of alkaline drugs• Certain diuretics• Endocrine disorders:Hyperaldosteronism• Heavy ingestion of antacids• Severe dehydration

110
Symptoms of Metabolic Alkalosis
• Respiration slow and shallow• Hyperactive reflexes ; tetany• Often related to depletion of electrolytes• Atrial tachycardia• Dysrhythmias

Compensation for Metabolic Alkalosis
• RENAL COMPENSATION – decreased reabsorption of HCO3-• Kidneys conserve H+ ions
• Sometimes , Alkalosis occurs with renal dysfunction can’t count on kidneys
• Respiratory compensation difficult – hypoventilation limited by hypoxia

Treatment of Metabolic Alkalosis
• Electrolytes to replace those lost• IV chloride containing solution• Treat underlying disorder

Diagnosis of Acid-Base Imbalances1. Note whether the pH is low (acidosis) or high
(alkalosis)
2. Decide which value, pCO2 or HCO3- , is outside the
normal range and could be the cause of the problem.
• If the cause is a change in pCO2, the problem is respiratory.• If the cause is HCO3
- the problem is metabolic.

115
3. Look at the value that doesn’t correspond to the observed pH change.
If it is inside the normal range, there is no compensation occurring.
If it is outside the normal range, the body is partially compensating for the problem.

Example
• A patient is in intensive care because he suffered a severe myocardial infarction 3 days ago. The lab reports the following values from an arterial blood sample:
• pH 7.3• HCO3- = 20 mEq / L ( 22 - 26)• pCO2 = 32 mm Hg (35 - 45)

Diagnosis
• Metabolic acidosis• With compensation

acid base condition
pH 7.58; Pa.CO2 23 mm Hg; [HCO3-] 18 mEq/L
1. Look at pH (is it acidosis or alkalosis?)
pH = 7.58 alkalosis
2. Look at HCO3- (is it metabolic alkalosis?)
HCO3- = 18 mEq/L (normal 22-30) not metabolic alkalosis
3. Look at Pa.CO2 (is it respiratory alkalosis?)
Pa.CO2 = 23 mmHg (normal 35-45) respiratory alkalosis
4. See if appropriate compensation has occurred:
compensation for respiratory alkalosis is HCO3- excretion
HCO3- = 18 mmHg (normal 22-30)
partially compensated respiratory alkalosis

1. Look at pH (is it acidosis or alkalosis?)
pH = 7.29 acidosis
2. Look at HCO3- (is it metabolic acidosis?)
HCO3- = 12 mEq/L (normal 22-30) metabolic acidosis
3. Look at Pa.CO2 (is it respiratory acidosis?)
Pa.CO2 = 26 mmHg (normal 35-45) not resp. acidosis
4. See if appropriate compensation has occurred:
compensation for metabolic acidosis is hyperventilationPa.CO2 = 26 mmHg (normal 35-45); partial compensation

Mixed disturbances
123
Here several problems of acid-base management are colliding at the same time.
It’s definitely not just a matter of the body trying to compensate for one such disorder.
a. An example would be a DIABETIC with KETOACIDOSIS, who also happens tohave C.O.P.D, or develops a bad PNEUMONIA (and as a result develops a respiratory acidosis.)
