Lab Values For Metabolic Acidosis. Metabolic acidosis is primary reduction in bicarbonate hco 3 typically with compensatory reduction in carbon dioxide partial pressure p co2. Ph may be markedly low or slightly subnormal. Tests to diagnose metabolic acidosis include. Metabolic acidoses are categorized as high or normal anion gap based on the presence or absence of unmeasured anions in serum.
It compares the numbers of positively and negatively charged particles including sodium. Primary acid base disorders metabolic acidosis loss of hco3 0r addition of h metabolic alkalosis loss of h or addition of hco3 respiratory acidosis increase in pco2 respiratory alkalosis decrease in pco2 recquired lab values information arterial blood gases. Metabolic acidosis is primary reduction in bicarbonate hco 3 typically with compensatory reduction in carbon dioxide partial pressure p co2. Tests to diagnose metabolic acidosis include. Remember the respiratory system is causing hyperventilation. Arterial blood gas 3.
Calculate anion and osmolar gaps to further aid in differential.
Primary acid base disorders metabolic acidosis loss of hco3 0r addition of h metabolic alkalosis loss of h or addition of hco3 respiratory acidosis increase in pco2 respiratory alkalosis decrease in pco2 recquired lab values information arterial blood gases. Metabolic panel na k cl hco3 and arterial blood gases expect decreased bicarbonate level on both tests along with acidosis on arterial blood gases. 35 or normal may be normal but if it is decreased this is the body s way of trying to compensate. It compares the numbers of positively and negatively charged particles including sodium. Normal lab values vs. Ph paco2 pao2 sat co bun glucose creatinine fio2 and clinical history.
