An 18-year-old patient presents in the ER with complaints of polyuria, weight loss and feeling generally unwell. He appears to be lethargic and is demonstrating Kussmaul breathing. The following are the results of his arterial blood gas:

pH = 7.0

PO2 - 90 mmHg

PCO2 = 23 mmHg

HCO3 = 12 mmol/L

The patient is in a state of:

Metabolic acidosis
