Acid-Base Disorders — MCQs

Use the following laboratory values to find the best option that describes the acid-base disorder: Plasma pH = 7.12, Plasma PCO2 = 60 mm Hg, Plasma HCO3- = 19 mEq/L

What is the normal pH of the blood?

Given the following electrolyte values: Sodium (Na+) = 140 mmol/L, Potassium (K+) = 3 mmol/L, Chloride (Cl-) = 112 mmol/L, and Bicarbonate (HCO3-) = 16 mmol/L, what is the plasma anion gap?

In which of the following condition normal anion gap metabolic acidosis is seen?

Renal tubular acidosis with ABG value pH = 7.24 PO2=80; PaCO2= 36 Na = 131; HCO3 = 14 Cl= 90; BE = -13 Glucose = 135 the above ABG picture suggests –
