Introduction

When there is an excess of acid in the body's fluids, it is called acidosis. It is the reverse of alkalosis, a disorder in which the body's fluids contain an excessive amount of base. The body's acid and base chemical balance (correct pH level) are maintained by the kidneys and lungs. When acid accumulates or when bicarbonate is depleted, acidosis results. Acidosis can either be respiratory or metabolic in nature.
