normally, the ph of the human body is fixed in a very narrow range between 7.35 and 7.45. A patient with a acidotic Blood pH of

7.3 may be treated with an alkali Such as sodium hydrogen and carbonate. Why would this treatment raise the pH of the blood?

Increases in blood pH indicate alkalemia. Increases can be a result of a respiratory (or metabolic) disturbance.

<h3>What causes the pH of the blood to increase?</h3>
  • Losing too much water from your body can increase blood ph. This happens because you also lose some blood electrolytes — salts and minerals — with water loss. These include sodium and potassium.
  • The body's pH level is critical to the functioning of the bodies cells. A pH in the range of 7.35 to 7.45 is considered "normal", although a large number of doctors get nervous if the pH is towards the outer edges of that range. If your pH gets down to 6.9, you'll be a coma. At 6.8, you're dead. And if the pH goes up to 7.8, you're also dead.
  • The hydrogen ion concentrations for pH = 7.35 and pH = 7.45 are 4.46 x 10⁻⁸ M and 3.54 x 10⁻⁸ M respectively.
  • When the pH of a solution is less than 7, the hydrogen ion concentration is higher and therefore the solution is acidic.
  • On the other hand, when the pH of a solution is greater than 7, hydroxide ion concentration is higher and the solution acts as a base.
  • The normal pH range of blood is given as 7.35 - 7.45  which is greater than 7. That means blood is slight basic in nature.
  • Let us find hydroxide ion concentration of blood.

The hydrogen ion concentration for pH = 7.35 is 4.46 x 10⁻⁸ M

Calculation of [H+] for pH = 7.45

pOH = 6.55

[OH-] = 2.82 x 10⁻⁷

Similarly, for pH = 7.45, we get hydrogen ion concentration of 3.54 x 10⁻⁸ M.

Explanation:

Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is a type-III hypersensitivity reaction , in which the immune complexes bind to the glomerular basement membrane resulting in :

1) Edema

2) Hypertension

3) Cola-coloured urine and RBC's in urine.

<h2>Dietary management of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis includes restrictions of following : </h2>

1) Protein

2) Sodium

3) Potassium

Serjik [45]
<span>Organic foods tend to have higher levels of nutrients than nonorganic foods. The statement is False. Organic foods is also required to meet possible and same standards as that of non-organic foods. Since, organic is different from non-organic, then it has additional set of standards. In terms of product consistency, then organic foods are not into that.</span>
