  1. Acid-Base Balance Jianzhong Sheng MD, PhD Department of Pathophysiology School of Medicine Zhejiang University

  2. Objectives • Explain how the pH of the blood is stabilized by bicarb buffer and define the terms acidosis and alkalosis. • Explain how the acid-base balance of the blood is affected by CO2 and HCO3-, and describe the roles of the lungs and kidneys in maintaining acid-base balance. • Explain how CO2 affects blood pH, and hypoventilation and hyperventilation affect acid-base balance. • Explain how the interaction between plasma K+ and H+ concentrations affects the tubular secretion of these.

  3. Normal Acid-Base Balance • Normal pH 7.35-7.45 • Narrow normal range • Compatible with life 6.8 - 8.0 pH 6.8 7.35 7.45 7.8 death death acidosis alkalosis 【H+】 160 40 16 nmol/L

  4. What are acidosis and alkalosis • Normal pH: 7.40 (7.35-7.45) • Acidosis: pH<7.35; Alkalosis: pH>7.45 • Simple types of acidosis: Metabolic acidosis and Respiratory acidosis • Simple types of alkalosis: Metabolic alkalosis and Respiratory alkalosis • Mixed types of acid-base disorders

  5. pH • pH of blood is 7.35 to 7.45 • pH = 6.1 + log [HCO3-] 0.03 x Pco2 • [HCO-3] / [H2CO3] = 20:1

  6. Types of Acids in the Body • Volatile acids: • Can leave solution and enter the atmosphere. • H2CO3 (carbonic acid). • Pco2 is most important factor in pH of body tissues.

  7. Types of Acids in the Body • Fixed Acids: • Acids that do not leave solution. • Sulfuric and phosphoric acid. • Catabolism of amino acids, nucleic acids, and phospholipids.

  8. Types of Acids in the Body • Organic Acids: • Byproducts of aerobic metabolism, during anaerobic metabolism and during starvation, diabetes. • Lactic acid, ketones.

  9. Chemical Buffers • Act within fraction of a second. • Protein. • HCO3-. • Phosphate.

  10. Proteins • COOH or NH2. • Largest pool of buffers in the body. • pk. close to pH in plasma. • Albumin, globulins such as Hb.

  11. HCO3- • pk. = 6.1. • Present in large quantities. • Open system. • Respiratory and renal systems act on this buffer system. • Most important ECF buffer.

  12. HCO3- Limitations • Cannot protect ECF from respiratory problems. • Cannot protect ECF from elevated or decreased CO2. • Limited by availability of HCO3-.

  13. Phosphates • pk. = 6.8. • Low concentration in ECF, better buffer in ICF, kidneys, and bone.

  14. Respiratory System • 2nd line of defense. • Acts within min. -maximal in 12-24 hrs. • H2CO3 produced converted to CO2, and excreted by the lungs. • Alveolar ventilation also increases as pH decreases (rate and depth). • Coarse , CANNOT eliminate fixed acid.

  15. Urinary Buffers • Nephron cannot produce urine at pH < 4.5. • IN order to excrete more H+, the acid must be buffered. • H+ secreted into the urine tubule and combines with HPO42- or NH3. • HPO42- + H+ H2PO4- • NH3 + H+ NH4+

  16. Renal Acid-Base Regulation • Kidneys help regulate blood pH by excreting H+ and reabsorbing HC03-. • Most of the H+ secretion occurs across the walls of the PCT in exchange for Na+. • Antiport mechanism. • Moves Na+ and H+ in opposite directions. • Normal urine normally is slightly acidic because the kidneys reabsorb almost all HC03- and excrete H+. • Returns blood pH back to normal range.

  17. Reabsorption of HCO3- • Apical membranes of tubule cells are impermeable to HCO3-. • Reabsorption is indirect. • When urine is acidic, HCO3- combines with H+ to form H2CO3-, which is catalyzed by ca located in the apical cell membrane of PCT(proximal convoluted tubule). • As [CO2] increases in the filtrate, CO2 diffuses into tubule cell and forms H2CO3. • H2CO3 dissociates to HCO3- and H+. • HCO3- generated within tubule cell diffuses into peritubular capillary.

  18. Acidification of Urine

  19. Na++ HCO3- H+ H++ HCO3- H+ H2CO3 CA H2O + CO2 H2CO3 HPO42- NH3 CA NH4 + H2PO4- CO2 +H2O

  20. Urinary Buffers • Nephron cannot produce urine at pH< 4.5. • In order to excrete more H+, the acid must be buffered. • H+ secreted into the urine tubule and combines with HPO42- or NH3. • HPO42- + H+ H2PO4- • NH3 + H+ NH4+

  21. Anion Gap • The difference between [Na+] and the sum of [HC03-] and [Cl-]. • [Na+] – ([HC03-] + [Cl-]) = • 140 - (24 + 105) = 11 • Normal = 12 ± 2 • Clinicians use the anion gap to identify the cause of metabolic acidosis.

  22. Law of electroneutrality: Blood plasma contains an = number of + and – charges. The major cation is Na+. Minor cations are K+, Ca2+ , Mg2+. The major anions are HC03- and Cl-. (Routinely measured.) Minor anions include albumin, phosphate, sulfate (called unmeasured anions). Organic acid anions include lactate and acetoacetate,. Anion Gap

  23. In metabolic acidosis, the strong acid releases protons that are buffered primarily by [HC03-]. This causes plasma [HC03-] to decrease, shrinking the [HC03-] on the ionogram. Anions that remain from the strong acid, are added to the plasma. If lactic acid is added, the [lactate] rises. Increasing the total [unmeasured anions]. If HCl is added, the [Cl-] rises. Decreasing the [HC03-]. Anion Gap

  24. Anion Gap in Metabolic Acidosis • Salicylates raise the gap to 20. • Renal failure raises gap to 25. • Diabetic ketoacidosis raises the gap to 35-40. • Lactic acidosis raises the gap to > 35 (>50). • Largest gaps are caused by ketoacidosis and lactic acidosis.
