Respiratory Acidosis E87.29

J96.02, Acute Respiratory Failure with Hypercapnia

Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) occurs when the kidneys do not remove acids from the blood into the urine as they should.

Case report:
https://www.immunopaedia.org.za/clinical-cases/drug-response/25-year-old-female-presents-with-persistent-flu-like-symptoms/

"A 25 year old female presents to her primary healthcare clinic complaining of flu-like symptoms which consist of a fever, headache, myalgia"

"In this case we have a raised anion gap which indicates the patient has a metabolic acidosis.

Causes of metabolic acidosis
This occurs due to an increase in production of organic acids, resulting in a fall in HCO3 or other unmeasured anions and is thus associated with the accumulation of acids.

Causes include:

Lactic acidosis caused by sepsis, shock or hypoxia
Urate caused by renal failure
Ketones caused by diabetes mellitus, alcohol or starvation
Drugs (salicylates, biguanides, ethylene, NRTIs)"
