In this AudioBrick from the Renal collection, we explore metabolic acidosis and alkalosis.\u00a0 The normal pH of the blood falls within a pretty narrow range (7.35-7.45). Anything outside that range\u2014whether acidotic or alkalotic\u2014can lead to serious problems and even death. These abnormal pH states, called acid-base disorders, are grouped into two big categories: those that are caused by abnormal amounts of acid or base in the blood (metabolic acid-base disorders) and those that are caused by abnormal amounts of carbon dioxide in the blood (respiratory acid-base disorders). Respiratory acid-base disorders are discussed in a separate brick; here, we will focus on metabolic acid-base disorders.<\/p>\n
