This case study presents a 25-year-old female patient experiencing fatigue, shortness of breath, and loss of consciousness, revealing a history of arrhythmia and seizures. Diagnostic tests indicate a blood pH of 7, high carbonic acid levels, low bicarbonate, and elevated anion gap, pointing towards physiological acidosis. The patient's symptoms and lab results suggest both respiratory and metabolic acidosis, potentially linked to her occupation in coal production, aspirin use, and diarrhea. The analysis explores the pathophysiology of acid-base imbalances, the compensatory mechanisms of the kidneys and lungs, and the potential for renal failure if the condition worsens. High levels of hydrogen ion was also found in urine samples due to retention of bicarbonate ions by the kidney. The study references various articles related to the diagnosis and treatment of acid-base disorders. Desklib provides access to similar case studies and solved assignments for students.
