What is metabolic acidosis?

Causes of Metabolic acidosis:-
Diabetic acidosis (also known as diabetic ketoacidosis or DKA) occurs when acidic molecules called ketone bodies accumulate due to uncontrolled diabetes.
- The removal of too much sodium bicarbonate from the body, as can happen with severe diarrhoea, causes hyperchloremic acidosis.
- Kidney disease is a condition that affects the kidneys (uremia, distal renal tubular acidosis or proximal renal tubular acidosis).
- Lactic acidosis is a condition in which the body produces too much lactate.
- Aspirin, ethylene glycol (found in antifreeze), or methanol poisoning.
- Dehydration is a serious problem.
