Maintenance of acid-base homeostasis is a vital function of the living organism. Deviations
of systemic acidity in either direction can impose adverse consequences and when severe …

The accurate interpretation of laboratory tests in patients with acid-base disorders is critical
for understanding pathophysiology, making a diagnosis, planning effective treatment and …

There are many causes of respiratory and renal system dysfunction that can generate acid-
