| Abstrakt: |
Hemodialysis patients develop metabolic acidosis due to their impaired excretion of daily produced protons (H+). The following report will show a rare case of severe metabolic alkalosis (predialysis pH 7.52, base excess (BE) +17) in a hemodialysis woman caused by self-provoked upper gastrointestinal H+ losses based on an eating disorder. Treatment with a proton pump inhibitor resulted in the normalization of acid/base homeostasis (predialysis pH 7.40, BE +1.6). |
