Accurate diagnosis of acid-base disorders is crucial for patient prognosis. A systematic approach, including lab assessments and clinical evaluation, aids in identifying these common, impactful imbalances.

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Medicine
  • Biochemistry
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Acid-base balance disorders are frequent in clinical settings.
  • These imbalances significantly affect patient outcomes.
  • Identifying acid-base disturbances can indicate underlying medical conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a systematic approach for evaluating acid-base disorders.
  • To emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis for patient prognosis.
  • To illustrate diagnostic principles with clinical cases.

Main Methods:

  • Assessing acid-base values using Henderson or Henderson-Hasselbalch equations.
  • Conducting thorough patient history and physical examinations.
  • Calculating serum anion gap and analyzing serum/urine electrolytes.

  • Identifying primary and mixed acid-base disturbances.
  • Measuring urine pH and calculating urine anion/osmolal gaps.

    • Main Results:

    • A systematic evaluation framework was detailed.
    • The approach facilitates diagnosis in most acid-base disturbance cases.
    • Five illustrative patient cases were analyzed.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured, analytical approach is essential for diagnosing acid-base disorders.
    • Accurate diagnosis improves patient management and prognosis.
    • This systematic method aids in identifying simple and mixed acid-base disturbances.
