<prompt> The lab repos of a patient given below pH 7.2 HCO3 10 mEqL PCO2 30 mmHg This exemplifies which of the following disorderRespiratory acidosisRespiratory alkalosisMetabolic acidosisMetabolic alkalosis  <response>: Parameters normal values Blood Ph 7.35-7.45 HCO3 22-26 meqLavg24meq PCO2 35-45mmhg CHLORIDE 96-106 meql PO2 60-100 mmhg In given scenerio ph7.2 indicating acidosis . Bicarbonate is significantly reduced that is 10 mmhg indicating metabolic acidosis. Decreased HCO3- Increased excretion of NH4Cl occurs with renal compensation for the acidosis Respiratory compensation for the acidosis increases the ventilation rate, resulting in Decreased plasma Pco2.
