Respiratory acidosis occurs when the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Pa CO2) is elevated above the normal range (>44 mm Hg) leading to a blood pH lower than 7.35.By definition, the diagnosis of respiratory acidosis requires measurement of Pa CO2 and pH. When the diagnosis is made, the underlying cause should be thoroughly investigated.
Acidosis occurs when your kidneys and lungs canât keep your bodyâs pH in balance. There are two types of acidosis--metabolic and respiratory. Metabolic acidosis occurs when your kidneys canât get rid of acid buildup or when your body gets rid of too much base.Bases neutralize acids, and vice versa.Respiratory acidosis occurs when your lungs do not properly eliminate the carbon dioxide (CO2). When CO2 builds up in your blood, it becomes more acidic.etabolic acidosis occurs when your kidneys canât get rid of acid buildup or when your body gets rid of too much base. Bases neutralize acids, and vice versa. Respiratory acidosis occurs when your lungs do not properly eliminate the carbon dioxide (CO2).
