what is the difference between:

metabolic and respiratory acidosis

metabolic and respiratory alkalosis

Which of the above would be caused by:

hypoventilation

hyperventilation

Expert Solution

Difference between metabolic acidosis and respiratory acidosis.

Respiratory acidosis	metabolic acidosis
Increased pco2 that causes increases in h+ and lowering of blood ph.	Loss of hco3- or addition of non volatile acids causing decrease in ph
Causes - depression of respiratory center and damage to respiratory center	Causes - diabetes, type 2 renal tubular acidosis .
Increased h+ excretion . reabsorption Of hco3-.	Increased h+ excretion . Hyperventilation.
It occurs for shorter period	Most common acid base disorder

Difference between respiratory alkalosis and metabolic alkalosis.

Respiratory alkalosis	metabolic alkalosis
Decreased pco2 that causes decreases in h+ and decreased in blood ph.	Loss of h+ or addition of hco3- causing increase in ph.
Causes - high altitude, hyperventilation	Causes- vomiting, hyper aldosterone.
Compensation- decreased h+ secretion. hypoventilation. increases hco3- excretion	Hypoventilation, decreases h+ secretion , increased hco3- excretion.

Hypoventilation occurs in respiratory acidosis.

hyperventilation occurs in respiratory alkalosis .
