The following experiment is illustrative of what happens in more extreme acidosis.

EXPERIMENTS ON DOGS

Sodium chloride in the dosage mentioned was injected for ninety minutes into a dog weighing 17 kilograms. In this experiment the flow of urine lagged far behind the rate of injection, so that when the animal died after two and one-fourth hours, his water balance was 595 cc. plus. This failure of diuresis will result from acidosis of various kinds. The types that I have noted as demonstrated in experimental work include: (1) starvation acidosis, (2) exhaustion acidosis, (3) acidosis caused by acute respiratory infections, . . .
