Beware of metabolic acidosis! You need to know these 5 hazards!

Metabolic acidosis is a common acid-base imbalance, mainly caused by the accumulation of acidic substances or excessive loss of alkaline substances in the body. If this condition is not treated in time, it may cause many harms to the body:

1. Impact on the respiratory system : Metabolic acidosis can cause breathing to deepen and accelerate, resulting in the so-called "deep and rapid breathing due to acidosis". This is the body's attempt to eliminate excess acidic metabolic products by increasing breathing.

2. Effects on the central nervous system : Acidosis can also affect the central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, memory loss, and mental confusion. In severe cases, coma may even occur.

3. Impact on the cardiovascular system : Metabolic acidosis may lead to decreased myocardial contractility, myocardial metabolic disorders, and vasodilation, manifesting as arrhythmia, hypotension, heart failure, and in severe cases may lead to shock.

4. Impact on the digestive system : Acidosis may cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc., affecting the digestion and absorption of food.

5. Impact on other systems : Metabolic acidosis may also cause or aggravate bone disease, affect insulin resistance, and increase the risk of insulin resistance.
