Respiratory regulation of acid-base Central chemoreceptor Peripheral chemoreceptor H+ H+, PaCO2, PaO2 Respiratory center ventilation
Renal regulation of acid-base balance Excretion of H+ and reabsorption of HCO3- in proximal convoluted tubule Excretion of H+ and reabsorption of HCO3- in distal tubule Excretion of NH4+ and NH3
Parameters of acid-base balance pH 7.35-7.45 H2CO3=H++HCO3- [H+]=pKa.[H2CO3]/[HCO3-] [H2CO3]=0.03PaCO2=1.2
PaCO2 PaCO2 is the partial pressure of CO2 dissolved in artery plasma, the normal range is 33-46mmHg with a average value of 40mmHg. PaCO2 reflects the situation of alveolar ventilation. PaCO2↑ respiratory acidosis or metabolic alkalosis after compensation PaCO2↓ respiratory alkalosis or metabolic acidosis after compensation
Standard bicarbonate (SB) and actual bicarbonate (AB) SB is the bicarbonate under “standard condition” which refers to a temperature of 38℃, PaCO2 of 40mmHg and 100% oxygen saturation of hemoglobin. Normal range: 22-27mmol/L Average value:24mmol/L SB↑ metabolic alkalosis or chronic respiratory acidosis SB↓ metabolic acidosis or chronic respiratory alkalosis
AB AB is the bicarbonate measured under “actual condition” which refers to the actual status of the patient. A comparison between SB and AB can provide some information for the differentiation of respiratory acid-base disturbance from metabolic acid-base disturbance.
Buffer base (BB) BB is the sum of all all alkaline buffer substances in the blood, which is also measured under standard condition. Normal range: 45-52mmol/L Average value: 48mmol/L
Base excess (B E) BE describes the amount if a fixed acid or base that must be added to a blood sample to achieve a pH of 7.4 under standard condition. If an acid must be added, the BE value is positive. If an base must be added, the BE value is negative. The normal value is -3-+3mmol/L
Anion gap (AG) AG is the difference between unmeasured anion (UA) and unmeasured cation (UC). AG=UA-UC=Na+-(Cl-+HCO3-)=140-104-24=12mmol/L AG↑ metabolic acidosis

Metabolic acidosis Metabolic acidosis is defined as a decrease of pH induced by primary decrease in plasma bicarbonate concentration.
etiology Excessive production of fixed acid lactic acidosis (glycolysis) keto-acidosis (lipolysis) Disorders in the excretion of acidic metabolites renal failure, renal tubular acidosis I Excessive loss of HCO3- loss of intestinal juice, bile, and pancreatic juice renal tubular acidosis II Excessive intake of exogenous acids NH4Cl, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) hyperkalemia
