Blood pH and how it can cause coma and death?

Blood pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity, with normal levels ranging from 7.35 to 7.45. When blood pH falls below this range (acidosis) or rises above it (alkalosis), it can disrupt cellular function and metabolic processes. Severe acidosis can lead to symptoms like confusion and lethargy, potentially resulting in coma or death due to impaired oxygen delivery and organ failure. Conversely, severe alkalosis can also cause neuromuscular irritability and cardiovascular complications, leading to similar life-threatening outcomes.
