A disturbance of the body acid-base balance in which there is excessive acidity of the blood
An abnormally high level of acid in the blood because the lungs are not working well
abnormal balance of cerebral oxygen (a pathologic condition in blood gases whereby there is accumulation of acid and hydrogen ions in the blood and tissues, decreasing the pH )
A condition in which pH of the rumen drops quickly following ingestion of a large meal of grain or forage of too small particle size Symptoms of acidosis include: off-feed problems, low milkfat test, laminitis, poor body condition, and even poor reproductive performance
an excessive acidity of body fluids due to either an accumulation of acids or a loss of bicarbonate (the hydrogen ion concentrate is increased and thus the pH is decreased) See pH balance
abnormally high acidity (excess hydrogen-ion concentration) of the blood and other body tissues
A condition marked by an accumulation of acids in body tissues and blood that may result from prolonged diarrhea or disorders such as diabetes and kidney disease, when not under control Urine tests screen for acidosis Determination of blood pH provides more accuracy
Decreased pH of blood plasma; in diabetes mellitus it is caused by accumulation of ketone bodies in the blood
Too much acid in the body For a person with diabetes, this can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis See also: Diabetic ketoacidosis
a pathologic condition resulting from accumulation of acid in, or loss of base from the body
Condition of decreased alkalinity of the blood and tissues marked by sickly sweet breath, headache, nausea, vomiting, and visual disturbances; usually the result of excessive acid production
