We discuss the use of urine electrolytes and urine osmolality in the clinical diagnosis of
patients with fluid, electrolytes, and acid-base disorders, emphasizing their physiological …

Patients with sepsis have typically reduced concentrations of hemoglobin and albumin, the
major components of noncarbonic buffer power (β). This could expose patients to high pH …

Nongap metabolic acidosis is a common form of both acute and chronic metabolic acidosis.
Because derangements in renal acid-base regulation are a common cause of nongap …

Acute non-anion gap metabolic acidosis, also termed hyperchloremic acidosis, is frequently
detected in seriously ill patients. The most common mechanisms leading to this acid–base …

Background: The interface between acid–base physi-ology and blood gas interpretation is
historically both stimulating and turbulent. Since the pioneering work of many celebrated …

Objective We compared the conventional 'one-bag protocol'of management of diabetic
ketoacidosis (DKA) with the 'two-bag protocol'which utilizes two bags of fluids, one …

Discussion Under most circumstances, clinicians rely on the serum bicarbonate
concentration to evaluate the anion gap and the metabolic component of an acid-base …

Background: Severe metabolic acidosis occurs during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT)
particularly during the anhepatic phase. Although NaHCO 3 is considered as the current …
