Acidosis and Acid Excretion in Pneumonia
نویسنده
چکیده
There is excreted in the urine of subjects ill with acute lobar pneumonia a large amount of organic acid which is free at a hydrogen ion concentration of 5.0. Acidosis as determined by the combined carbon dioxide in the plasma is seldom, if ever, severe.

Transient 5-oxoprolinuria (pyroglutamic aciduria) with systemic acidosis in an adult receiving antibiotic therapy.
5-Oxoprolinuria is a recognized condition with increased urinary excretion of 5-oxoproline and is associated with a variety of inborn metabolic defects involving the series of enzyme-linked reactions known as the gamma-glutamyl cycle. We report the unusual case of a 35-year-old woman who initially presented with staphylococcal pneumonia but went on to develop a transient high anion gap metaboli...
متن کاملA comparison of the effects of glucose ingestion and NH4Cl acidosis on urinary calcium and magnesium excretion in man.
Both glucose ingestion and NH(4)Cl acidosis have been reported to augment urinary calcium (U(Ca) V) and magnesium (U(Mg) V) excretion. Both also cause acidification of the urine and an increase in renal acid excretion. To examine whether a common mechanism of action was involved, the effects of glucose ingestion and NH(4)Cl acidosis on U(Ca) V and U(Mg) V were tested in the same subjects. Gluco...
متن کاملOn the mechanism of acidosis in chronic renal disease.
It has been pointed out (1) that, in terms of modern acid-base chemistry, the defects reponsible for the acidosis of renal disease could be: 1) impaired renal excretion of acid in the form of ammonium and titratable acidity, 2) loss of bicarbonate (alkali) in the urine due to a failure of renal bicarbonate conservation or 3) a combination of these two defects. The two main components of urine r...
متن کاملTissue and Renal Response to Chronic Respiratory
The elevation of pCO2 which occurs during respiratory acidosis is accompanied by a rise in the concentration of bicarbonate and a fall in the concentration of chloride in serum (1). The increased bicarbonate concentration results from both cellular and renal responses. The cellular response is characterized by the exchange of extracellular hydrogen ions for intracellular cations, thereby contri...
متن کاملEffect of growth hormone on renal and systemic acid-base homeostasis in humans.
The effects of recombinant human growth hormone (GH, 0.1 U ⋅ kg body wt-1 ⋅ 12 h-1) on systemic and renal acid-base homeostasis were investigated in six normal subjects with preexisting sustained chronic metabolic acidosis, induced by NH4Cl administration (4.2 mmol ⋅ kg body wt-1 ⋅ day-1). GH administration increased and maintained plasma bicarbonate concentration from 14.1 ± 1.4 to 18.6 ± 1.1 ...
