Metabolic acidosis is a medical condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of acid in the body’s fluids, leading to a decrease in blood pH. This imbalance can result from various causes, including kidney failure, diabetic ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, or ingestion of toxins. Understanding metabolic acidosis is crucial for diagnosing and managing underlying health issues and restoring the body’s acid-base balance.
