  • Title: The kidney in acid-base balance.
    Author: Hanna JD, Scheinman JI, Chan JC.
    Journal: Pediatr Clin North Am; 1995 Dec; 42(6):1365-95. PubMed ID: 8614591.
    Abstract:
    The practitioner's approach to the pediatric patient with metabolic acidosis begins with calculation of the serum anion gap, which allows the clinician to place the patient in one of two categories of acid-base disturbance: a normal anion gap acidosis or high anion gap acidosis. Likewise, the patient with metabolic alkalosis can be categorized by urinary chloride concentration and the response to chloride replenishment as either chloride-responsive or chloride-resistant. The disease states associated with each category are reviewed in this article.
