Respiratory acidosis: Respiratory acidosis is acidosis (abnormally increased acidity of the blood) due to decreased ventilation of the pulmonary alveoli, leading to elevated arterial carbon dioxide concentration. More detailed information about the symptoms, causes, and treatments of Respiratory acidosis is available below.
