Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asthma can lead to respiratory acidosis, which occurs when there is a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood due to impaired lung function. A blood pH of 7.30 is lower than the normal range of 7.35-7.45, indicating acidosis. Metabolic alkalosis occurs when there is an excess of bicarbonate in the blood, respiratory alkalosis occurs when there is too little carbon dioxide, diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that affects blood sugar levels, and metabolic acidosis occurs when there is an excess of acid in the blood. None of these conditions are specifically related to the blood pH of an asthmatic patient.
