Acidosis correction

Acidosis correction" refers to the set of medical and physiological interventions applied to restore normal blood pH when a patient is experiencing acidosis, such as metabolic or respiratory acidosis. This is accomplished not by targeting a discrete molecule or receptor, but rather by correcting the underlying cause—such as administering intravenous fluids, sodium bicarbonate, or treating the precipitating illness (e.g., diabetic ketoacidosis, kidney failure, poisoning, etc.)[1][2][3][5]. Physiological compensation can involve increased respiratory rate to expel CO₂ or renal adjustments to increase acid excretion and/or bicarbonate retention[2][6]. There is no unique molecular target called "Acidosis correction," and this term should not be used as a target in therapeutic databases or structured drug-target resources. The intervention involves system-level regulation and multiple organ responses, rather than a single, targetable molecule or receptor.
