Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The effect of continuous vomiting on acid–base balance, body's attempt to compensate it, the electrolytes that would have been affected due to vomiting, and the symptoms reflecting the imbalances.
Introduction:
Vomiting refers to a condition in which there is a loss of body fluids, such as electrolytes and acids. The body fluids are the liquids, which consist of water and other dissolved solutes and helps in maintaining the optimum homeostasis. The balance of acid–base concentration in the body is the maintained concentrations of the hydrogen (H+) ions, especially the extracellular fluids like blood plasma and the interstitial fluids. Electrolytes are the fluids that lead to the production of ions when an

Jay has been suffering from diarrhea for the last three days. What do you think has happened to his acid-base balance (acidosis or alkalosis)? How would her body attempt to compensate?
Severe diarrhea is one of the most causes of death in young children. One of the principal effects of diarrhea is the excretion of large quantities of sodium bicarbonate. In which direction does the bicarbonate buffer system shift under this circumstance? What is the resulting condition called?

- Harriet, a young, poor, single mother, brings her baby to the emergency room because the baby is crying constantly. She reports that she is unable to buy formula and has been unable to breastfeed. Instead, she has been giving the baby a bottle with only water.

- A two-month old child was admitted to hospital after failure to thrive. The “boy”, whose external genitalia were ambiguous, was found to have elevated blood pressure, but no dehydration. The following measurements were made on a plasma sample taken on admission: Variable Result Reference Range Urea (mM) 6.2 2.5 - 7.0 Creatinine (μ�M) 95 60 - 120 Glucose (mM) 4.3 3.5 - 5.5.
