Acid-base disturbances in gastrointestinal disease

G O Perez et al. Dig Dis Sci. 1987 Sep.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal disorders are associated with severe and often complex acid-base disturbances. We review the most important types of metabolic alkalosis and metabolic acidosis associated with gastrointestinal disorders, excluding liver disease. Special emphasis is placed on pathophysiologic mechanisms. This information may help the clinician understand the generation and maintenance of these disorders and to plan an effective therapeutic approach.
