Acid-Base Disorders: Clinical Evaluation and Management

Acid-base physiology is a difficult topic in medicine because of its complexity. The
purpose of writing this book is to present a clear and concise understanding of the
fundamentals of acid-base physiology and its associated disorders that are frequently
encountered in clinical practice. Each clinical acid-base disorder begins
with pathophysiology followed by case studies and questions with explanations. I
believe that this kind of approach will increase the knowledge of a physician in
managing acid-base disturbances.
This book would not have been possible without the help of many students,
house staff, and colleagues who made me understand acid-base disorders and manage
patients appropriately.
