Some Concepts • We are Water • Water is OH- and H+
What Causes Acidaemia • CO2 obviously! • Anion Excess • The principle of electroneutrality applies • Anions are paired with Cations! • H+ is dissociated from water • pH is H+ • Weak acids
Approach to Acid Base BalanceReading ABG • Do ABG • What is pH? • What is pCO2? • What is Bicarbonate? • Or do I care? • What is the buffer status? (BE, SID) • What is the cause? Do Anion gap/Strong Ion Gap • Narrow it down if high AG/SIG- Osmolar Gap
Revelation • Our machines measure only pH and pCO2 • Bic and BE are derived!
Henderson and tidy Mr HasselbachWelcome • Equilibrium reaction for carbonic acid CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3 ↔ H+ + HCO3- • pK(H2CO3)=6.1 • SCO2= 0.03
Problem • Acid base balance cannot be explained by HH: • CO2 effects Bicarb! • CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3 ↔ H+ + HCO3- • We need to quantify the acid/base metabolic contributors!
What is on the horizon? • 1948 Singer and Hastings: “buffer base” • Sum of plasma anions (bicarb+weak acids) • 1960 Antrup: “standard bicarbonate” • Bicarb when pCO2 is 5.3kPa • 1960 Siggaard-Andersen: “base excess” • Concentration of H+ required to titrate pH to 7.4 at pCO2 5.3
Base Excess • Another derived normogram value (Danish volunteers)
What now! • If BE negative, there is a metabolic component to acidaemia • Need to find the cause • Normal Anion Gap • High Anion Gap
Anion Gap The principle of electroneutrality (Na+ + K+) – (Cl- + HCO3- ) Usually 12-16 mEq/l Low albumin will increase anion gap
Reduced anion gap • Increased ‘unmeasured’ cations • Hypermagnesaemia • Lithium toxicity • Xs protein • Myeloma • Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinaemia
Normal anion gap • Disorders of bicarbonate homeostasis • Hyperchloraemia causes the acidosis • GI losses • Vomitting • Diarrhoea • Renal losses • Renal tubular acidosis • Acetazolamide • Iatrogenic NaCl
Increased anion gap • Increased ‘unmeasured’ anions • Lactate • Ketones • Ethanol • Asprin • Cyanide • Methanol • Ethylene glycol
Corrected anion gap Hypoproteinamia common in critical illness Albumin has a lot of negative charge Albumin Gap = 40 – apparent albumin Anion Gapcorr = AG + (albumin gap/4) Increase AG by 2.5 for every 10 g/l fall in Albumin from baseline
Example of AGcorr Albumin = 18 AG = 15 (normal) AGcorr = 15 + (40-18)/4 = 20.5 (increased) Ie. Look for an unmeasured anion!
Osmolar Gap • OG = measured serum osmolality − calculated osmolality • Calculated osmolality = 2 x [Na mmol/L] + [glucose mmol/L] + [urea mmol/L] • A normal osmol gap is < 10 mOsm/kg
The physico-chemical approach Stewart
Clever? • I will let you decide • Bottom line is that it measures contributors of the BE! • The concept of what contributors are is genius!
Components of human fluids Water Strong ions in solution in water Buffer solutions in water CO2 containing solutions
Water • High dielectric constant • Things with electrostatic bonds dissociate in it • Water only dissociates slightly
Strong ions in solution with water Effectively fully dissociated Always present at conc that they were added at Don’t participate in reactions Most abundant are Na+ and Cl- Others include K+, Mg++, Ca++, SO4-
To be electroneutral • [Na+] + [K+] + [H+] – [Cl-] – [OH-] = 0 • The Strong Ion Difference • SID = [Na+] + [K+] – [Cl-] • [H+] ie pH depends on SID • If you alter the value of SID, more or less water dissociates to maintain electroneutrality, hence altering [H+]
SID(app) = [Na+] + [K+] + [Mg++] + [Ca++] – [Cl-] • SID(eff)= HCO3-+ Alb+PO43- • SIG= SID(app)-SID(eff)=0
SID SID is an independent variable Imposed externally on the system Varied by other factors
Carbon dioxide • When you add CO2 to anything, you get • Dissolved CO2 • Carbonic acid H2CO3 • Bicarbonate ions HCO3- • Carbonate ions CO32- • The final equilibrium is [H+] x [CO32-] = k x [HCO3-]
Solving for all the equations... • The combination of water + strong ions + buffers + CO2 resembles plasma • The only independent variable which vary pH are • SID • ATOT Total weak acid concentration • pCO2 • Altering these will cause an alteration in the degree of water dissociation into H+ ions
Putting it all together Are we any wiser?
How I tickle/tackle metabolic acidosis • Do ABG • pH • PaCO2- ?appropriate • BE(negative) • Identify measured components • Lactate • Ketones • BE (NaCL) = (Na-Cl)-38 • BE (alb) = (42-Alb)x0.25 • Identify BEgap • Check Corrected anion gap- Can you account for all BE contributors? • Osmolar gap?- cyanide/antifreeze/salycillates.
Conclusion • It is all about Anions (chloride) • Bicarb and H+ are infinitely abundant • Subtract your lactate and Chloride excess from BE (base deficit) • What is left is unmeassured: • Usually ketones, renal acids • Rarely salycilates or sweet tasting antifreeze!
