Question

A human condition of acid-base disturbance with high H⁺ ions in the blood is called:

• A. Acidosis
• B. Acidemia
• C. Alkalemia
• D. Alkalosis

Hint:

Acidemia = ”acid in blood,” lowering pH below 7.35.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Acidemia occurs when there is an increase in hydrogen ion concentration, resulting in a blood pH below the normal range (7.35-7.45). It can be caused by metabolic or respiratory disorders.
