The study was aimed to analyse healthy and diseased camels’ acid-base and electrolyte profiles to understand how these variations can lead to metabolic, systemic and respiratory disorders. The normal blood pH of camels ranges between 7.35 and 7.45 (7.44 ± 1.04). If this range is exceeded or decreased, it may cause metabolic and respiratory acidosis alkalosis, which may hinder the normal physiological functions of the body organs. Acid-base disorders have been observed in association with severe diseases such as myocardial infarction, trypanosomiasis, tick paralysis, tick-borne diseases, helminthic infections, bent neck syndrome, barter syndrome, Gitelman syndrome, Liddle syndrome, Glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism, pneumonia, bronchitis, left ventricular contractility, asthma, syncope, interstitial lungs disease and Peripheral and circumoral paresthesia. It was concluded that these imbalances can impact the immune system function in camels and increase susceptibility to infections, while fluctuation in essential ion levels may cause paralysis by affecting muscle contractions and relaxation processes.
