Blood

From The Two Kingdoms

The acids that are dissolved in the blood

Amino, uric, lactic, carbonic, folic and keto acids, and the kidneys

Students ask what acid in the blood refers to. The answer is precise, and it is why the kidney sits at the centre of this system rather than the stomach.

Keto acids · Increase in diabetes — a chief cause of acidity in diabetic patients

To balance all of these, bicarbonate ions must come out from the kidneys at the right time and in the right quantity.

That table ties the acid direction to four organs — the stomach, whose blood supply decides whether protein is digested at all; the liver, which handles uric acid and therefore a great many joint pains; the lungs, which govern the two acids that rise when breathing is poor; and the kidneys, which must send out the body's own antacid on time and in quantity. It is also why a patient with joint pains and a raised uric acid gets work aimed at his liver.

Why blood must keep moving

Two opposite catastrophes, and a body that must stand between them

Begin with the danger, because the whole family is an answer to it.

Exactly the opposite is also true. If clotting occurs unwanted, inside the vessels, that too is fatal.

So for this too nature has made an arrangement. In our body there are special cells which make a chemical named heparin, whose work is not to let clots form in the blood.

Two dangers, pointing in opposite directions, and the body has to stand between them every second of its life. A therapist who holds only one of them in mind will sooner or later do harm with the other.

Think of a canal running past a village. While the water moves, the channel stays open and the silt travels with it. Let the flow drop — a gate half-shut, a bend, a season of little rain — and the silt drops out of the water and begins to build a bar across the bed. Nobody put the bar there. It formed because the water slowed, and once it has formed it slows the water further, and the thing feeds itself. That is a clot inside a vessel, and it is why this article is called what it is called.

Now the arithmetic of where the anticoagulant comes from, which decides everything about the formulas.

Of the heparin made in the body:

From Water and Salt

Where a blood pressure falls from, and what falling does

Haemorrhage, hypovolaemia — and the signs that say the system did not answer

Now let us see from what causes BP can fall. If low BP has come on suddenly, one main cause of it is blood suddenly flowing out of the body. This is called haemorrhage. Because of it, the blood volume — the quantity — falls all at once.

Ordinarily this can happen from the following causes:

when some deep injury has occurred;

or an accident has happened;

or, in women, when there has been very heavy bleeding during an abortion — a miscarriage — or in the menses;

some people can feel giddy even after donating blood. That too is from this same cause.

Note: if bleeding has occurred because of an accident, in the hospital report it is written as haemorrhage due to RTA — RTA meaning Road Traffic Accident.
