Mixed disorder of acid-base balance - what does this mean
Mixed disorder of acid-base balance occurs when the body's ph level deviates from the normal range. this is usually caused by an imbalance between acid and base levels, either due to an excessive production of acid or a decrease in the production of base. it can also be caused by an accumulation of acid or base in the body, or by a combination of both.
What happens during the disease - mixed disorder of acid-base balance
Mixed disorder of acid-base balance is a condition that occurs when the body's acid-base balance is disrupted due to an imbalance in the levels of hydrogen ions, bicarbonate ions, and carbon dioxide in the blood. this can be caused by a variety of conditions including kidney disease, respiratory diseases, metabolic disorders, and ingestion of certain drugs. the body's acid-base balance is important for maintaining the proper ph level in the blood, and an imbalance can lead to a wide variety of symptoms including confusion, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Measure the pH of the patient's blood
- Check the patient's electrolyte levels
- Measure the patient's respiratory rate
- Check the patient's oxygen saturation levels
- Check the patient's kidney function
- Check the patient's liver function
- Perform a physical examination of the patient
- Order a chest X-ray to check for any changes in the lungs
- Order an arterial blood gas test to measure the patient's acid-base balance
- Order a urine analysis to check for any metabolic abnormalities
