A Patient is having Ph- 7.12, HCO3- 28 and PCO2- S0mmhg. What is the acid base disorder in this patient?
(A) Metabolic acidosis with respiratory compensation (B) Metabolic alkalosis with respiratory compensation (C) Respiratory acidosis with renal compensation (D) Respiratory alkalosis with renal compensation
(C) Ans: C. Respiratory acidosis with renal compensationpH-7.12 so its acidosis.PCO2 is 5o mmHg (normal range 35-45 mmHg) which is higher than the normal s/o respiratory acidosis.HCO3- is 28 mmol/L (18-24 mmol/L) which is higher than the normal range s/o metabolic compensated alkalosis.
