what is the effect of high ph on adult human blood and red bllod cells?

It denatures the hemoglobin protein within the blood cells, inactivating it and essentially killing the blood cells. That is why our bodies' pH is neutral, anywhere from 4.5 to 8.5, because an extremely high or low pH is very dangerous.

Normally it would lead to respiratory alkalosis,\nbut remember blood gases are tricky  if the Base Excess is off or the HCO3 is off then the metabolic side may outweigh anything the respiratory system can do

7.4\n\nThe normal pH of human arterial blood is approximately 7.40 (normal range is 7.35-7.45). Blood that has a pH below 7.35 is acidic, while blood pH above 7.45 is alkaline

7.35-7.40 is the normal blood ph. Lower or higher than this may result in acidosis and alkalosis.

It's probably not the best thing for you as this can mess up your body chemistry if you're not used to this.  Nothing really horribly serious will happen though because your fluids are buffers.  A buffer is a solution which doesn't drastically change pH if an acid or base is added.  For example, your blood is a buffer solution.  On a daily basis you eat all sorts of acidic or basic things, but your insides need to be kept at a consistent pH.  Because buffer solutions don't change pH very much, your body can stay at a constant pH, and your organs won't fail.  I also think I heard that many cities have water with a pH of 9.

acid reacts with the organs present in our body.they will corrode,since they have the property of corrosion.hence acid is dangerous to human beings.

Adults :70-110mg/dl (serum)\n             60-100mg/dl (whole blood)\nChildren:60-100mg/dl

A strong acid, like HCl, might cleave your ethanoic annhydride. That's the only thing I can think of. Phosphoric acid gives you a weak source of protons.

Diffent centres have different recommendation for storage of whole blood. In some centres in theworld 35+days is also possible with modern preservatives. Individual blood components can be stored for evenlonger or shorter periods depending on their halflife and the utility intended. \n\nmore and more redblood cells in whole blood undergo haemolysis after a certain durarion of time. This releases potasium which is harmful in high levels in the transfusuion receipient if transfused in such a state.The nmber of Red blod cells also decrease with haemolysis. \n\nhaemoglobin from lysed cells are later found in free plasma and large levels of free Hb can clog renal tubules if transfused and result in renal failure. This is especially true in massive transfusions.\n\nThe 2,3 DPG levels in RBCs decrease considerably with the duration of storage and therefore make them unsuitable to release oxygen to tissues.\n\nThe current storage technique of whole blood limits its useful lifespan to 20-40 days depending on the facilities available. Maybe in the future with better techniques longer storage will be possible or better still we may have blood substitues that work better than blood especially especially for oxygenation of tissues.

I think both your answers are right. \n\nAccording to my books, normal values are pH = 7.4, PCO2 = 40mm Hg, and HCO3 = 24 mM.\n\nRespiratory acidosis: pH < 7.4, CO2 too high\nMetabolic acidosis: pH < 7.4, HCO3 too low\n\nRespiratory alkalosis: pH > 7.4, CO2 too low\nMetabolic alkalosis: pH > 7.4, HCO3 too high\n\nSo the way I figure out these problems is first to look at the pH. Even if compensated, it will never get back to normal so it should tell you right away if it's acidosis vs alkalosis. \n\nThen look at both the PCO2 and HCO3. Are they both above normal, below normal, or is one above and the other below? If one is above and the other below, then it means that the state is uncompensated and it should be easy to figure out the cause.\n\nIf they are both either below or above normal, then you have to look at either CO2 or HCO3 more closely. I usually like to concentrate on HCO3, but it really doesn't matter which one you want to look at. \n\nSo looking at your problem 1 for example, pH - 7.63 tells me its alkalosis. Both CO2 and HCO3 levels are lower than normal, so I know it's being compensated for. From what I know about alkalosis, it's either caused by low C02 or high HCO3. Since HCO3 is low in this case yet the blood pH is basic, I know it can't be the cause of the alkalosis. CO2 however looks to fit into the model, so HCO3 must be compensating.\n\nAnyway, hope this makes sense, kinda hard to explain completely in a post.

Well, hyperventilation is the state of breathing faster or deeper (hyper) than necessary, and thereby reducing the carbon dioxide concentration of the blood below normal. This causes various symptoms such as numbness or tingling in the hands, feet and lips, lightheadedness, dizziness, headache, chest pain, slurred speech and sometimes fainting.\n\nThe reason it causes the blood pH to increase is because of the levels of carbon dioxide...carbon dioxide gets converted into  bicarbonate and hydrogen ions.  So basically a decrease in carbon dioxide levels in the blood will increase the pH of blood. The reason is because carbon dioxide breaks up into bicarbonate (H2CO3), which is a buffer used to maintain blood's pH.  But if there are not enough carbon dioxide molecules then there will be no dissociation and therefore an increase in pH. Since pH  is a measure of the activity of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution and, therefore, its acidity or alkalinity. pH= pK+Log [HCO3-]/[H2CO3] determines the pH of blood.

Are you asking the difference between the two?  Mean cell hemoglobin is just the average amount of hemoglobin in a red blood cell.  Mean cell hemoglobin concentration, on the other hand, depends on the volume of the RBC.  So if there is a condition that causes red blood cells to be too big or small (B12 deficiency causing megaloblastic anemia, or iron deficiency causing microcytic anemia), the MCHC will reflect that.

Your blood keeps its pH range stable.

Red blood cell (RBC) count. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. They also carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs so it can be exhaled. If the RBC count is low (anemia), the body may not be getting the oxygen it needs. If the count is too high (a condition called polycythemia vera), there is a risk that the red blood cells will clump together and block tiny blood vessels (capillaries).

When a persons blood sugar remains high over a period of time the body starts consuming fat stores for energy.  As this fat is consumed it produces ketone bodies to be released into the body.  The ph balance of the body is very critical.  As the body fat is burned and released into the blood system the ph balance of the body becomes very acidic so much as to be incompatible with life.  As the blood sugar rises so does the potassium level which is very critical to the functioning of the body also.

In extreme cases of Hyperemesis (Gravidarum) which is like morning sickness only much much worse, the blood pH can dip below 7.3 due to serum bicarbonate being lowered. It varies with the bouts of vomitting.\n\nHowever, after a severe bout of vomitting the swing can be to alkylosis so if an attempt is made to replace fluids, the physician has to be very careful to balance needs for sodium and glucose against the patient's present pH. \n\nThere seems to be no known cause of it right now. It has been blamed on psychological causes and bacteria, but neither are demonstrably causative. \n\nIt can be very frightening to be around. It can lead to dehydration and possible miscarriage. The exact number of cases are unknown since many are not hospitialized.

Blood is about 7% of the human body weight, so the average adult has a blood volume of about 5 litres, of which 2.7-3 litres is plasma. Human blood density is around 1060 kg/m³. The combined surface area of all the red cells in the human body would be roughly 2,000 times as great as the body's exterior surface
