Acidosis is a change in the blood's pH to an acidic state. This causes problems with the cardiovascular, renal and many other body systems.

Confusion, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing.

A history and physical exam will be performed in addition to the measurement of serum electrolytes for the diagnosis and the cause of the acidosis.

Therapy is aimed at treating the cause of the acidosis and reversing the metabolic imbalance. Treatment includes: intravenous fluids, and if severe infusion of sodium bicarbonate.
