This review presents a systematic four-step method for diagnosing and managing complex acid-base disorders. Applying these rules simplifies the identification and resolution of these common yet challenging medical issues.

Area of Science:

Internal Medicine
Nephrology
Critical Care Medicine

Background:

Acid-base disorders are common and complex, often intimidating physicians.
A systematic approach is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management.
Current diagnostic methods can be challenging for many medical professionals.

Observation:

A practical, four-step diagnostic process is outlined.
Key steps include determining serum pH, calculating the serum anion gap, estimating compensation, and calculating the excess anion gap.
This systematic approach aims to demystify complex acid-base problems.

Findings:

The proposed stepwise method provides a clear pathway to diagnose acid-base disorders.
Accurate application of the four steps allows for the resolution of complex cases.
