In medicine, acid-base imbalances are "disturbances in the acid-base equilibrium of the body."[1]

Classification

  • Acidosis - A condition noted for accumulation of acid (e.g., lactate ion) or depletion of alkaline reserves (bicarbonate ion) in blood and tissues.
  • Alkalosis - A haematological condition in which the reducing hydrogen ion concentration of arterial blood plasma (alkalemia), results in the pH of the blood exceeding 7.45.
