Determine if an under-regulated (a hyper- condition) or an over-regulated (a hypo- condition) is the most critical of the electrolyte you've chosen (sodium)that would life-threatening.  List the correct name of the condition associated with the electrolyte.?

The normal pH of blood is 7.35-4.45. The normal pCO2 level is 35-45mmHg. John has blood work performed. His recorded pH is 7.1. His recorded PCO2 is 20mmHg. Based on this describe the acid base state of John. (ie, metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, respiratory acidosis, and respiratory alkalosis). Support your answer.
