Metabolic Acidosis
Metabolic acidosis is an imbalance in which too much acid accumulates in the body's fluids, or the bicarbonate that helps neutralize it is lost. This disrupts the internal chemical balance the body needs to function.
Common causes: It can be related to poor control of diseases such as diabetes, kidney problems, fluid loss, or certain conditions that affect metabolism.
Common symptoms: Rapid, deep breathing, fatigue, confusion, nausea, and general weakness; sometimes it is discovered while studying another disease.
Which specialist treats it? The internist integrates the evaluation of this imbalance, the nephrologist takes part when the kidney is involved, and the endocrinologist when it relates to metabolism; in acute cases the emergency specialist intervenes. Recognizing these signs and seeking timely care helps identify what is disrupting that balance.
