Acid-base imbalances conditions resulting

Most conditions will cause an imbalance in more than just electrolytes. Fluid imbalance will follow certain electrolyte imbalances, and acid-base imbalance will result from certain electrolyte imbalances. As stated in previous chapters, acid-base...

The integral part that endocrine glands and their hormones play in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance provides a clear basis why dysfunction in these glands would result in fluid, electrolyte, or acid-base imbalances. Three conditions will be bighligbted here to indicate this point. 

Fluids and Electrolytes Demystified is a detailed, easy-to-understand overview of the concepts it focuses on the information that students need most to understand the conditions that result in fluid and electrolyte imbalances. The book emphasizes the most critical information in fluids and electrolytes by discussing the underlying mechanisms involved in maintaining fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance and by discussing the factors that fail and result in an imbalance. 

Many conditions, particularly those affecting ADH, can result in imbalances in fluids, electrolytes, and acid-base. Conditions can affect more than one system and result in more than one imbalance. The nurse can anticipate some imbalances based... 

Renal regulation of pH is a slow process occurring over a few days, but it can buffer large quantities of acid or base. Renal pH regulation results in a long-term, efficient correction of pH imbalance and, unlike the respiratory system, can fully return the pH to a normal range. Acute conditions cannot be corrected quickly by...
