Starvation

Strenous exercise

Vomiting

Severe diarrhea

Excess alcohol consumption

Constipation

Excessive aspirin use

Overuse of antacids

Categorize into the following 2 categories: Metabolic Acidosis or Metabolic Alkalosis

Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus

Starvation

Strenous exercise

Vomiting

Severe diarrhea

Excess alcohol consumption

Constipation

Excessive aspirin use

Diuretics that cause H+ secretion

Overuse of antacids

Categorize into the following 2 categories: Metabolic Acidosis or Metabolic Alkalosis

Factors causing metabolic acidosis.

Strenuous exercise , due to the excess lactate produced

Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, is due to excess ketone bodies produced

Starvation, glucose is reduced so excess fatty acids are converted into keto acids causing ketoacidosis

Diuretics that secrete H+

Excess aspirin use causes metabolic acidosis by respiratory alkalosis

Alcohol consumption,it is called alcoholic ketoacidosis.

Factors causing metabolic alkalosis

Vomiting due to loss of H+ ions

Excess use of antacids

Constipation
