The pH indicates acidosis,and the HCO₃- is markedly decreased,indicating a metabolic disorder.Uncompensated metabolic acidosis values include a pH below 7.35,PACO₂ of 35 to 45 mm Hg,and HCO₃- above 22 mEq/L.Uncompensated respiratory acidosis values include a pH below 7.35,PACO₂ above 45 mm Hg,and HCO₃- of 22 to 26 mEq/L.Uncompensated respiratory alkalosis values include a pH above 7.45,PACO₂ below 35 mm Hg,and HCO₃- of 22 to 26 mEq/L.Uncompensated metabolic alkalosis values include a pH above 7.45,PACO₂ of 35 to 45 mm Hg,and HCO₃- above 26 mEq/L.
