title: [The intraerythrocytic acid-base status in dogs].
abstract: The determination of the intracellular acid-base state is reported in this paper, using erythrocytic haemolysate in dogs as an example. Reference values are given for 217 clinically healthy dogs. The effects of various selected stages of illness and additional stresses on the erythrocytic acid-base equilibrium are reported and compared with acid-base changes in the blood. The metabolic acidosis observed may occur earlier and be stronger in the intracellular space than in the blood. There seems to be a closer correlation between a disturbed intraerythrocytic acid-base equilibrium and the degree of clinical symptoms than between the (commonly investigated) acid-base changes in the blood and the clinical presentations. The investigation of the blood alone does not provide a satisfactory indication of the patient's acid-base state and of the necessity for treatment.
