  • Title: [Disorders of the acid-base balance and the anion gap].
    Author: Kimmel M, Alscher MD.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 2016 Oct; 141(21):1549-1554. PubMed ID: 27750341.
    Abstract:
    The regulation of the acid-base balance and pH is critical for the organism. The most important buffer system is CO2 / HCO3-. The kidney controls systemic bicarbonate and therefore the metabolic regulation and the lung is relevant for respiratory regulation by an effective CO2 elimination. There are four acid-base disorders with two metabolic and two respiratory disorders (acidosis and alkalosis). The anion gap enables a further workup of metabolic acidosis.
