Renal tubular acidosis occurs when the body produces too much acid, or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body.
Diabetic acidosis (also called diabetic ketoacidosis and DKA) develops when substances known as ketone bodies, which are acidic, build up during uncontrolled diabetes Hyperchloremic acidosis results from excessive loss of sodium bicarbonate from the body, as can happen with severe diarrhea Lactic acidosis is a buildup of lactic acid. It can be caused by: Alcohol Cancer Exercising for a very long time Liver failure Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) Medications such as salicylates Prolonged lack of oxygen from shock, heart failure, or severe anemia Seizures
Other causes of acidosis include:
Poisoning by aspirin, ethylene glycol (found in antifreeze), or methanol Severe dehydration
