All of the following statements about acid-base disorders are true, EXCEPT:
AMetabolic acidosis is compensated by increasing Pco2
BBuffering may be intra & extra cellular
CpH determined by Pco2 and HCO3
DRespiratory acidosis is compensated by HCO3
A 25-year-old male patient presents with ingestion of antifreeze solution. His arterial blood gas analysis report is as follows: pH = 7.20 Anion gap = 15 PCO2 = 25 HCO3 = 10 What is the most likely diagnosis?
ANone of the options
BNormal anion gap metabolic acidosis
CHigh anion gap metabolic acidosis
DBoth
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 –
AMetabolic acidosis
BRespiratory alkalosis
CMetabolic alkalosis
DRespiratory acidosis
