A medical condition where there is too much acid in the blood, making it more acidic than normal.
From Latin 'acidus' (sour) combined with Greek 'haima' (blood). The term emerged in medical terminology during the 19th century as doctors developed ways to measure blood chemistry.
Your blood has a very specific pH level (around 7.35-7.45), and even tiny changes can be dangerous—acidaemia is what doctors call it when that balance tips toward too much acid, which can happen with kidney disease, diabetes, or severe infections.
