Metabolic acidosis occurs when the chemical balance of acids and bases in the body become imbalanced. This can be a result of the body producing excess acid, not sufficiently ridding itself of acid, or an insufficient amount of base to offset a normal amount of acid. When any of these situations occur, chemical reactions and processes within your body work incorrectly which can result in either life-threatening episodes or mild episodes of metabolic acidosis.<\/p>\n

When our lawyers look at metabolic acidosis, it is usually in the context of a birth injury claim. Our concern when we see metabolic acidosis is that this is a clinical marketer for ischemia<\/a>. Babies with ischemia are not getting enough blood flow throughout the body which may mean the child’s vital organs are not getting the oxygen they need. It is not possible to directly measure blood flow throughout the body, acidosis tells us that there is a problem. So while acidosis is not a diagnosis of brain ischemia, it is a diagnosis of an abnormality of the normal function of cells which almost invariably function without creating acid. Metabolic acidosis and the total duration of acidosis and longest single episode of acidosis are correlated<\/a> with a cognitive and motor function delays.<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether acidosis is just a marker for brain injury or a cause of brain injury. Defense experts in medical malpractice cases often take the position that metabolic acidosis is not a diagnosis of brain ischemia but rather a diagnosis of that there is a abnormality of the normal function of cells which usually function without creating acid. Other experts have testifed in birth injury malpractice cases that acidosis itself has circulatory depressant effects and not just an indicator that tissue perfusion is inadequate.<\/p>\n
