| Description: Acid-base imbalances may occur. Acidosis: blood pH is below 7.35 Alkalosis: blood pH is above 7.45 Respiratory acidosis: blood pH drops due to excessive retention of CO2 leading to excess H2CO3. Respiratory alkalosis: blood pH rises due to excessive loss of CO2 as in hyperventilation. Metabolic acidosis: arterial blood levels of HCO3– falls. Metabolic alkalosis: arterial blood levels of HCO3– rises.
