Le Alterazioni dell’Equilibrio Acido Base e Idroelettrolitico nella Pratica Clinica

Paperback volume, 15 × 21 cm, 144 pages

The importance of physiological “balances” in maintaining bodily function is well known, yet often underestimated in clinical practice. A proper understanding of acid–base and hydro-electrolytic disorders provides crucial diagnostic support and may be decisive for appropriate therapeutic management.

The authors present real clinical cases observed in Internal Medicine and Pulmonology units. Unlike traditional manuals, complex diagnostic diagrams have been intentionally avoided. Instead, the focus is placed on practical interpretation of routine blood test data obtained at the patient’s bedside.

In many of the discussed cases, the temporal evolution of blood gas parameters is illustrated in relation to therapy or disease progression. This reflects everyday clinical reality, where diagnosis is often not immediately clear and treatment may not be instantly effective.

This manual is an essential reference for internists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, emergency physicians, and intensive care specialists. Its highly practical approach also makes it particularly valuable for residents and senior medical students.
