acidosis

Acidemia and acidosis are not technically the same thing.

Acidemia describes the blood pH.

Acidosis describes the physiologic process pushing the pH towards acidemia.

The same direction applies with alkalemia and alkalosis.

A patient can actually have more than one acid-based process happening simultaneously.
