A Patient is having Ph- 7.12, HCO3- 28 and PCO2- S0mmhg. What is the acid base disorder in this patient?
Metabolic acidosis with respiratory compensation
Metabolic alkalosis with respiratory compensation
Respiratory acidosis with renal compensation
Respiratory alkalosis with renal compensation
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.
