[Changes in the acid-base equilibrium in hypokalemic patients during potassium infusions with various anions].

W Wieluch, E Lang, O E Durst, P Denkl

Abstract

Based on the parameters of the acid-base status, the effect of different anions in potassium and magnesium substitution was studied. A mixture of chloride with the metabolisable anions acetate and malate does not cause any changes in the acid-base balance. The exclusive supply of metabolisable anions in the form of aspartate always results in a change of blood pH values towards an alkalosis.
