Slight correction to the above - the 3-ary equivalence is due to lexical matching, not
reasoning. Doesn't affect recommended course of action.

Additional notes: in MP, acidemia is under abnormal blood pH regulation, whereas is
under the more general non-blood-specific acidosis, supporting the above

From Peter:
Clinically these terms are used nearly interchangeably, since you get acidemia if you
have acidosis and only almost always measures acidosis via the blood. There is more
of a mechanistic touch to the acidosis terms ("metabolic acidosis"), and this is an
inference which is in principle so certain clinically that it is regarded as a phenotypic
feature. The wikipedia entry is correct
The term acidemia describes the state of low blood pH, while acidosis is used to describe
the processes leading to these states. Nevertheless, the terms are sometimes used interchangeably.

This might be a good suggestion of how to define the terms, one based on the actual
observation, the other based on the inferred abnormal process.
