Acid-base disorders refer to imbalances in the body's pH levels, which can affect overall health. The body maintains a normal pH range of 7.35 to 7.45. When this balance is disrupted, it can lead to conditions such as acidosis (too much acid) or alkalosis (too much base). These disorders can result from various factors, including respiratory issues, metabolic problems, or kidney dysfunction. Diagnosis of acid-base disorders typically involves blood tests to measure arterial blood gases (ABGs) and bicarbonate levels. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include medications, fluid replacement, or addressing the specific health issue. Proper management is essential to restore balance and prevent complications.
