Alkalosis in Critically Ill Patients with Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock. [PDF]
Although metabolic alkalosis is a common occurrence in intensive care units (ICUs), no study has evaluated its prevalence or outcomes in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock.This is a retrospective cohort study of critically ill patients suffering

Acid-base abnormalities and liver dysfunction
In addition to the kidneys and lungs, the liver also plays an important role in the regulation of the Acid-Base Equilibrium (ABE). The involvement of the liver in the regulation of ABE is crucial because of its role in lactic acid metabolism, urea ...

Aldosterone in Metabolic Alkalosis* [PDF]
Studies have been carried out in human volunteer subjects to evaluate the role of aldosterone in the development, maintenance, and correction of metabolic alkalosis induced by selective depletion of hydrochloric acid. During the first phase of our study the rate of aldosterone secretion was measured before the induction of alkalosis (while the subjects

Pathophysiological aspect of metabolic acid-base disorders [PDF]
Maintaing the arterial pH values (in normal range of 7,35-7,45) is one of the main principles of homeostasis. Regulatory responses, including chemical buffering (extracellular, intracellular, sceletal), the regulation of pCO2 by the respiratory system ...

Hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis or strong ion alkalosis: A review
Over the past 100 years numerous studies sought to elucidate the mechanisms of acid-base balance in humans and animals. Based on these investigations, different approaches have been developed; among them, the model proposed by Henderson-Hasselbalch (H-H)
