Acidosis following thermal injury is common, and is most pronounced on admission. The acidosis is usually compensated by respiratory alkalosis.
Acidosis develops within hours after > 30% burns. Has both metabolic and respiratory components. Former due to products of heat-damaged tissues and relative hypoxia.
There are three major forms of metabolic acidosis that occur in the human body. The first type is diabetic acidosis where ketones build up in the blood. The second type is lactic acidosis, when the body produces too much lactic acid, and the third type of acidosis is hyperchloremic acidosis which occurs when there is a loss of sodium bicarbonates.
respiratory alkalosis would cause metabolic acidosis
Metabolic acidosis occurs when the body does not get rid of the build up of acids in the body. Acidosis can occur due to kidney failure, uncontrolled diabetes, alcohol poisoning, and prolonged lack of oxygen.
Metabolic acidosis
The medical application of acidosis is to rectify the the pH of the blood. There are two main type of acidosis which are respiratory and metabolic acidosis.
The PO2 does decrease in metabolic acidosis, Similarly, there is a decrease in the pH and HCO3 levels. Metabolic acidosis is a condition where the body is producing too much acid.

metabolic acidosis
Acidosis is high levels of acidity in the blood and other body tissue, occuring when the arterial pH falls below 7.35. The two types of acidosis are metabolic acidosis and respiratory acidosis.
A metabolic acidosis will have a low HCO3(less than 22) and a low base access( less than-2) there may be a compensatory low CO2 (less than 4,7kPa. But in respiratory acidosis the CO2 is high( more than 6.0k,Pa) and the O2 may be low
