HPO HP:0001942 Metabolic acidosis "Metabolic acidosis (MA) is characterized by a fall in blood pH due to a reduction of serum bicarbonate concentration. This can occur as a result of either the accumulation of acids (high anion gap MA) or the loss of bicarbonate from the gastrointestinal tract or the kidney (hyperchloremic MA). By definition, MA is not due to a respirary cause." [HPO:probinson, PMID:17936961, PMID:31418093] The Henderson-Hasselbalch method defines metabolic acidosis by the presence of an acid-base imbalance associated with a plasma bicarbonate concentration below 20 mmol/L. The association of this imbalance with decreased pH is called acidemia, which is often described as severe when the pH is equal to or below 7.20. Arterial blood gas measurements can be performed in patients with a decreased plasma bicarbonate level so as to eliminate respiratory alkalosis, confirm the diagnosis of metabolic acidosis, and test for mixed acidosis.

HPO HP:0001945 Fever "Body temperature elevated above the normal range." [HPO:sdoelken, PMID:9759682] Fever has been defined as a state of elevated core temperature, which is often, but not necessarily, part of the defensive responses of multicellular organisms (host) to the invasion of live (microorganisms) or inanimate matter recognized as pathogenic or alien by the host. The febrile response (of which fever is a component) is a complex physiologic reaction to disease, involving a cytokine-mediated rise in core temperature, generation of acute phase reactants, and activation of numerous physiologic, endocrinologic, and immunologic systems. The rise in temperature during fever is to be distinguished from that occurring during episodes of hyperthermia. Unlike fever, hyperthermia involves an unregulated rise in body temperature in which pyrogenic cytokines are not directly involved and against which standard antipyretics are ineffective. It represents a failure of thermoregulatory homeostasis, in which there is uncontrolled heat production, inadequate heat dissipation, or defective hypothalamic thermoregulation. HP:0004370
HPO HP:0001946 Ketosis "Presence of elevated levels of ketone bodies in the body." [HPO:probinson, PMID:28278308] Ketone bodies are formed from acetyl-CoA in the liver by ketogenesis when the liver glycogen stores are depleted. Ketone bodies are acidic, and ketoacidosis ensues if the compensatory mechanisms are overloaded. The predominant ketones being acetoacetate, acetone, and beta-hydroxybutyrate. HP:0001939
HPO HP:0001947 Renal tubular acidosis "Acidosis owing to malfunction of the kidney tubules with accumulation of metabolic acids and hyperchloremia, potentially leading to complications including hypokalemia, hypercalcinuria, nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000124, HP:0001942
HPO HP:0001948 Alkalosis "Depletion of acid or accumulation base in the body fluids." [HPO:probinson, PMID:24381489] When describing acid-base abnormalities, acidosis and alkalosis refer to physiological processes that lower or raise the pH, respectively, while acidemia and alkalemia simply describe the state of an abnormal blood pH. This distinction is important: a patient with acidemia could have both a respiratory and metabolic acidosis as well as a concurrent metabolic alkalosis. HP:0004360

[HPO:probinson] The scalp of the head has the following five layers: 1) skin and head hair; 2) connective tissue; 3) the aponeurosis (a layer of dense fibrous tissue); 4) loose areolar connective tissue; and 5) the periosteum of the skull bones.

HPO HP:0001966 Abnormal glomerular mesangium morphology "An abnormality of the mesangium, i.e., of the central part of the renal glomerulus between capillaries." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19470685, PMID:20828589] Mesangial cells constitute the central stalk of the glomerulus and are in continuity with the extraglomerular mesangium and the juxtaglomerular apparatus. They have contractile properties generated by anchoring filaments to glomerular basement membrane opposite podocyte foot processes and at the paramesangial angles, thereby assisting in the maintenance of capillary organization and convolution. On the capillary lumen side, mesangial cells are in direct contact with endothelial cells without an intervening basement membrane. HP:0000095
