Too much acid in the body, a distinctly abnormal condition resulting from the accumulation of acid or from the depletion of alkaline reserves. In acidosis, the pH of the blood is abnormally low. Acidosis is associated with diabetic ketoacidosis, lung disease, and severe kidney disease. The opposite of acidosis is alkalosis in which there is too hig [..]

antonym alkalosis Pathological condition in which the hydrogen(1+) (hydron) amount concentration of body fluids is above normal and hence the pH of blood falls below the reference interval.

A high-acid condition in the rumen (pH 5.3-5.7) caused by rapid consumption or overconsumption of readily fermentable feed; may cause digestive disturbance and/or death.

A condition of the body in which pH levels are abnormally low.

A condition in which there is a shift in the acid-base balance of the body to have more acid than normal, often causing the pH of the blood and body tissues to fall below the healthy range (7.35-7.45). It may be caused by decreased CO2 eliimination in respiratory disorders such as emphysema, by metabolic problems such as kidney disease and diabetes [..]

noun. A problem caused by the lack of the standard acidic base that retains equilibrium in the human body. This in turn creates a rise in the amount of acid in tissues and blood, or a decrease of alka [..]

high blood acidity (pop)

(n) abnormally high acidity (excess hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues

An abnormal condition in the body in which excessive acid lowers the pH of the blood and body tissues.

Excessive acidity of body fluids due to accumulation of acids as may happen in diabetes or kidney disease.

[acid, sour + osis, a condition] (n) a condition in which the pH

Increased acidity of blood

An abnormally high level of acid in the blood. This can be because the lungs are not working well, because of inadequate amounts of oxygen reaching parts of the body or a combination of both.

A selective Aldosterone deficiency resulting from diminished Renin-generated Angiotensin II, a key stimulus to Aldosterone Secretion. Previously, it was called type IV Renal Tubular Acidosis.

The Genetic defect is in the anion exchange protein Gene SLC4A1 resulting in impaired excretion of Hydrogen Ions or renal Acids in the Distal Renal Tubules.

The Genetic defect is in the Sodium Bicarbonate Cotransporter Gene SLC4A4 resulting in impaired reabsorption of bicarbonate Ions in the Proximal Renal Tubules and bicarbonate-wasting.

Respiratory Retention of Carbon Dioxide. It may be chronic or acute.

A pathologic condition of acid accumulation or depletion of base in the body. The two main types are Respiratory Acidosis and metabolic acidosis, due to metabolic acid build up.

A Life-threatening complication of Diabetes Mellitus, primarily of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus with severe Insulin deficiency and extreme Hyperglycemia. It is characterized by Ketosis; Dehydration; and d [..]

Acidosis caused by accumulation of Lactic Acid more rapidly than it can be metabolized. It may occur spontaneously or in Association with Diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus, Leukemia, or Liver Failure [..]

A group of genetic disorders of the Kidney Tubules characterized by the accumulation of metabolically produced Acids with elevated Plasma chloride, hyperchloremic metabolic Acidosis. Defective renal a [..]

A pathologic condition resulting from accumulation of acid or depletion of the alkaline reserve (bicarbonate) content of the blood and body tissues, and characterized by an increase in hydrogen ion co [..]

Acidosis caused by accumulation of lactic acid more rapidly than it can be metabolized. It may occur spontaneously or in association with diseases such as diabetes mellitus, leukemia, or liver failure [..]

A rare sometimes familial disorder of the renal tubule characterized by the inability to excrete urine of normal acidity. This leads to a hyperchloremic acidosis which is often associated with one or [..]

Respiratory retention of carbon dioxide. It may be chronic or acute.

<biochemistry> A metabolic condition, characterised by an increase in hydrogen ion concentration, that occurs when the body is no longer able to buffer free hydrogen ions in the blood, resluting from either the accumulation of acid or depletion of the alkaline reserve (bicarbonate) in the blood and body tissues. This usually causes the pH of [..]

A condition in which blood is more acidic than usual.

Shifting of the pH in the blood towards being acidic.

An abnormal increase in hydrogen in the body from too much acid or the loss of base.

A decreased pH and bicarbonate concentration in the body fluids caused either by the accumulation of acids or by abnormal losses of fixed base from the body, as in diarrhea or renal disease.
