In medicine, metabolic acidosis is a condition that occurs when the body produces too much acid or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body.
If unchecked, metabolic acidosis leads to acidemia, i.e., blood pH is low (less than7.35) due to increased production of hydrogen by the body or the inability of the body to form bicarbonate (HCO3-) in the kidney.
Its causes are diverse, and its consequences can be serious, including coma and death.
Together with respiratory acidosis, it is one of the two general causes of acidemia.
