title: An introduction to strong ion difference.
abstract: This brief introduction to strong ion difference represents a fundamental change from the traditional method of understanding acid-base balance. It is hoped that this platform will allow better observation and provide more complete integration of the wide variety of mechanisms that affect homeostasis, from respiratory and renal to hepatic and dietary, and thus provide better outcomes for our patients.
