A. Metabolic acidosis decreased plasma bicarbonate
B. Metabolic alkaloses decreased plasma bicarbonate
C. Respiratory alkalosis decreased $pco_{2}$
D. Respiratory acidosis decreased $pco_{2}$
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
This question requires identifying the correct primary changes associated with specific acid-base disorders.
Metabolic acidosis is primarily characterized by a decrease in plasma bicarbonate ($\text{HCO}_3^-$) concentration. This reduction in the base component leads to a lower blood pH.
Statement A is correct.
Metabolic alkalosis is defined by an increase in plasma bicarbonate ($\text{HCO}_3^-$) concentration. The statement incorrectly suggests a decrease.
Statement B is incorrect.
Respiratory alkalosis results from hyperventilation, leading to excessive elimination of carbon dioxide ($\text{CO}_2$). This causes a decrease in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide ($\text{PCO}_2$) in the arterial blood, raising the blood pH.
Statement C is correct.
Respiratory acidosis occurs due to hypoventilation, resulting in a retention of carbon dioxide ($\text{CO}_2$). This leads to an increase in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide ($\text{PCO}_2$) and a decrease in blood pH. The statement incorrectly suggests a decrease in $\text{PCO}_2$.
Statement D is incorrect.
The analysis shows that statements A (Metabolic acidosis decreased plasma bicarbonate) and C (Respiratory alkalosis decreased $\text{PCO}_2$) are correct descriptions of primary changes in these disorders.
Therefore, the correct option includes only A and C.
