 Definition Refers to an abnormal chemical compositional state of the body that clinicians characterize as abnormally increased acidity — measured as pH reduction or hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]) increase — accompanied by abnormally reduced bicarbonate concentration ([HCO3-]) concentration in the extracellular fluid compartment (ECF) of the body, acknowledging that in most cases similar compositional abnormalities exist in the intracellular fluid compartment (ICF) as well.

Start independent article on Metabolic acidosis

Start new article, Metabolic acidosis, removing previous redirect to Acidosis, as metabolic acidosis requires extensive development and merits independent treatment. "See also: Acidosis" inserted before lede. Anthony.Sebastian 03:01, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Anthony,

The material on acid-base homeostasis seems suitable for its own article, hierarchically superior to all the acidosis-related articles.

Along these lines, I'd be delighted if you would create a structure for the intracellular and extracellular compartments and their various constituent fluids. You'll see that I'm referring to these in human iron metabolism and elsewhere, but I'd much rather someone with your expertise would standardize the terminology here. --Howard C.
