title: [Extreme disorders of acid-base and electrolyte balance. Diagnosis and treatment illustrated by two cases].
abstract: There are multiple causes of acid-base disturbances. We report on two patients with serious imbalance in electrolyte- and acid-base status. Both patients were conscious on admission. According to the literature, this was unexpected. The article focuses on the importance of relating electrolyte- and acid-base disturbances.
