although blood gas sampling is not always essential for the diagnosis of acidosis, a low ph (in either a venous or arterial sample) does support the diagnosis. if the ph is low (under 7.35) and the bicarbonate levels are decreased (24 mmol/l), metabolic acidemia is present, and metabolic acidosis is presumed. if the patient has other coexisting acid-base disorders, the ph may be low, normal or high in the setting of metabolic acidosis. if a setting of a cause for metabolic acidosis being noted in the patient's history, a low serum bicarbonate indicates metabolic acidosis even without measurement of serum ph.
