Abstract
Stewart's strong ion difference, first introduced more than 10 years a go, offers an innovative approach for the analysis of nonrespiratory a cid-base disorders. This article addresses the concept of strong ion d ifference and discusses its clinical applications. A brief review of b ase excess and anion gay is also included. Clinical cases are provided to demonstrate a step-by-step method using strong ion difference to e valuate nonrespiratory acid-base imbalances.
