  4. The concept of Acid Base balance

  5. Acid-base balance refers to the mechanisms the body uses to keep its fluids close to neutral pH (that is, neither basic nor acidic) so that the body can function normally. Arterial blood pH is normally closely regulated to between 7.35 and 7.45. Acid Base balance

  6. acids？ bases？ Any ionic or molecular substance that can act as a proton donor. Strong acid：HCl, H2SO4, H3PO4. Weak acid：H2CO3, CH3COOH. Any ionic or molecular substance that can act as a proton acceptor. Strong alkali：NaOH, KOH. Weak alkali：NaHCO3, NH3, CH3COONa.

  8. Acid Base balance & regulation

  9. - pH of ECF is between 7.35 and 7.45. Deviations, outside this range affect membrane function, alter protein function, etc. - You cannot survive with a pH <6.8 or >7.7 Acidosis- below 7.35 Alkalosis- above 7.45 CNS function deteriorates, coma, cardiac irregularities, heart failure, peripheral vasodilation, drop in Bp. pH

  10. Given that normal body pH is slightly alkaline and that normal metabolism produces acidic waste products such as carbonic acid (carbon dioxide reacted with water) and lactic acid, body pH is constantly threatened with shifts toward acidity. • In normal individuals, pH is controlled by two major and related processes; pH regulation and pH compensation. Regulation is a function of the buffer systems of the body in combination with the respiratory and renal systems, whereas compensation requires further intervention of the respiratory and/or renal systems to restore normalcy.

  16. Bicarbonate Reabsorption • Na+-H+ exchange of proximal tubule. • H+ secretion in collecting tubule is mediated by H+ ATPase pump in luminal membrane and a Cl-HCO3- exchanger in basolateral membrane. The H+ ATPase pump is influenced by aldosterone, which stimulates increased H+ secretion. • Hydrogen ion secretion in the collecting tubule is the process primarily responsible for acidification of the urine, particularly during states of acidosis. The urine pH may fall as low as 4.0.

  17. Excretion of titratable acids is dependent on the quantity of phosphate filtered and excreted by the kidneys, which is dependent on one's diet, and also PTH levels. As such, the excretion of titratable acids is not regulated by acid base balance and cannot be easily increased to excrete the daily acid load.

  18. Ammoniagenesis NH4+ excretion The major adaptation to an increased acid load is increased ammonium production and excretion. Because the rate of NH4+  production and excretion can be regulated in response to the acid base requirements of the body. ●The process of ammoniagenesis occurs within proximal tubular cells. ●The generation of new HCO3¯ ions is probably the most important feature of this process.

  19. uBuffers only provide a temporary solution. uKidney: are the ultimate H+ ions balance. Slow acting mechanisms can eliminate any imbalance in H+ levels. uLung: responds rapidly to altered plasma H+ concentrations, and keep blood levels under control until the kidneys eliminate the imbalance. Summary

  20. Acid base disturbance

  21. An acid base disorder is a change in the normal value of extracellular pH that may result when renal or respiratory function is abnormal or when an acid or base load overwhelms excretory capacity. Definition of acid-base disorders 或

  22. Since PCO2 is regulated by respiration, abnormalities that primarily alter the PCO2 are referred to as respiratory acidosis (high PCO2) and respiratory alkalosis (low PCO2). In contrast, [HCO3¯] is regulated primarily by renal processes. Abnormalities that primarily alter the [HCO3¯] are referred to as metabolic acidosis (low [HCO3¯]) and metabolic alkalosis (high [HCO3¯]). Simple Acid-Base Disorders Clinical disturbances of acid base metabolism classically are defined in terms of the HCO3¯  /CO2 buffer system. Acidosis – process that increases [H+] by increasing PCO2 or by reducing [HCO3-]Alkalosis – process that reduces [H+] by reducing PCO2 or by increasing [HCO3-] Henderson Hasselbalch equation:  pH = 6.1 + log [HCO3-]/ 0.03 PCO2

  23. Acid Base parameter/Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs)

  24. Arterial Blood Gas Sampling

  25. pH is a measurement of the acidity of the blood, reflecting the number of hydrogen ions present. pH = - log [H+] pH7.45：alkalosis pH7.35：acidosis pH 7.35 - 7.45： ①Acid-base balance. ②Acidosis or alkalosis with complete compensation. ③A mixed acidosis and alkalosis, both events have opposite effects on pH, may also have a normal pH. pH

  26. PaCO2(Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide) The amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in arterial blood. Normal: 4.39 ～ 6.25kPa（33 ～ 46 mmHg） Average: 5.32 kPa（40 mmHg） Respiratory acidosis: > 46 mmHg (> 6 .25kPa) Respiratory alkalosis: <33 mmHg (< 4.39 kPa) The PaCO2 reflects the exchange of this gas through the lungs to the outside, so it is called “respiratory parameter”.

  27. These two parameters are designed for HCO3¯ concentration in plasma. SB is measured under “standard condition”, AB is measured under “actual condition”. The difference between two cases is that the former rules out the respiratory effect on HCO3¯ concentration measurement, but the later does not. HCO3¯ -------------------------- Normal: 22～27mmol/L Metabolic acidosis: <22 mmol/L Metabolic alkalosis: > 27 mmol/L [Standard Bicarbonate: Calculated value. Similar to the base excess. It is defined as the calculated bicarbonate concentration of the sample corrected to a PCO2 of 5.3kPa (40mmHg). SB, AB

  28. The base excess indicates the amount of excess or insufficient level of bicarbonate in the system. (A negative base excess indicates a base deficit in the blood.) A negative base excess is equivalent to an acid excess. Normal: -3 to +3 mmol/L Metabolic acidosis: < -3 mmol/L Metabolic alkalosis: > +3 mmol/L Base excess (BE) is the mmol/L of base that needs to be removed to bring the pH back to normal when PCO2 is corrected to 5.3 kPa or 40 mmHg. During the calculation any change in pH due to the PCO2 of the sample is eliminated, therefore, the base excess reflects only the metabolic component of any disturbance of acid base balance. BE (base excess)

  29. Difference between undetermined anions and undetermined cations. Anion gap = Na+ - [Cl¯ + HCO3¯] Based on the principle of electrical neutrality, the serum concentration of cations (positive ions) should equal the serum concentration of anions (negative ions).However, serum Na+ ion concentration is higher than the sum of serum Cl¯ and HCO3¯ concentration. Na+ = Cl¯ + HCO3¯ + unmeasured anions (gap). Normal: 122mmol/L (10 - 14 mmol/L) These “undetermined anions” are generally accounted for by negatively charged proteins, phosphate, sulfate and organic anions. Except for a few relatively uncommon circumstances, an increase in the AG is synonymous with the accumulation of nonvolatile acids in body fluids, and suggests metabolic acidosis. AG (anion gap)

  30. pH—Determine Acidosis versus alkalosis Determine Metabolic ——the concentration ofHCO3¯, controlled by non-respiratory factors. SB (standard bicarbonate) BE(base excess) Determine Respiratory ——the concentration of CO2。 PaCO2 HCO3¯—influenced by Metabolic and Respiratory factors。 AG —■ Helpful in Metabolic Acidosis ■Helpful in mixed acid-base disorders

  31. Once the acid-base disorder is identified as respiratory or metabolic, we must look for the degree of compensation that may or may not be occurring. This compensation may be complete (pH is brought into the normal range) or partial (pH is still out of the normal range but is in the process of moving toward the normal range.) • In pure respiratory acidosis (high PaCO2, normal [HCO3¯], and low pH) we would expect an eventual compensatory increase in plasma [HCO3¯] that would work to restore the pH to normal. Similarly, we expect respiratory alkalosis to elicit an eventual compensatory decrease in plasma [HCO3¯]. • A pure metabolic acidosis (low [HCO3¯], normal PaCO2, and a low pH) should elicit a compensatory decrease in PaCO2, and a pure metabolic alkalosis (high [HCO3¯], normal PaCO2, and high pH) should cause a compensatory increase in PaCO2. • All compensatory responses work to restore the pH to the normal range (7.35 - 7.45)

  38. Compensatory Responses: Metabolic Acidosis In general, respiratory compensation results in a 1.2 mmHg reduction in PCO2  for every 1.0 meq/L reduction in the plasma HCO3- concentration down to a minimum PCO2 of 10 to 15mmHg. For example, if an acid load lowers the plasma HCO3- concentration to 9 meq/L, then:Degree of HCO3- reduction is  24 (optimal value) – 9 = 15.Therefore, PCO2 reduction should be  15 × 1.2 =  18.Then PCO2 measured should be 40 (optimal value) – 18 = 22mmHg. Winter's FormulaTo estimate the expected PCO2 range based on respiratory compensation, one can also use the Winter's Formula which predicts: PCO2 = (1.5 × [HCO3-]) + 8 ± 2 Therefore in the above example, the PCO2 according to Winter's should be (1.5 × 9) + 8 ± 2 = 20-24 Another useful tool in estimating the PCO2 in metabolic acidosis is the recognition that the pCO2 is always approximately equal to the last 2 digits of the pH.

  40. Compensatory Responses: Metabolic Alkalosis On average the pCO2 rises 0.7 mmHg for every 1.0 meq/L increment in the plasma [HCO3-]. For example, if an alkali load raises the the plasma HCO3- concentration to 34 meq/L, then:Degree of HCO3- elevation is  34 – 24 (optimal value)= 10. Therefore, PCO2 elevation should be  0.7 × 10 =  7.Then PCO2 measured should be 40 (optimal value) +7 = 47mmHg.

  41. Effects of Acid Base disorders

  42. Effects of acidosis

  43. Increased rate and depth of breathing ("Kussmaul breathing") Decreased heart rate (bradycardia)

  44. Effects of alkalosis Note: Most of the above effects are short lasting.

  45. The simple, or primary, acid-base disorders (respiratory and metabolic acidosis and alkalosis) evoke a compensatory response that produces a secondary acid-base disturbance and reversion of the blood pH towards (rarely to) normal; e.g., a simple metabolic acidosis will result in a secondary respiratory alkalosis, both of which will ordinarily be reflected in the patients’ acid-base-related analytes in blood. When two primary acid-base disturbances arise simultaneously in the same patient, the complex is called a mixed acid-base disorder. If three primary disturbances occur together, the patient is described as having “triple acid-base disorder.” More than one acid base disturbance present. pH may be normal or abnormal. Mixed acid base disorders
