      Acid-base disorders in liver disease.
      While we intentionally kept our main focus on metabolic acid-base disorders, Mazzeo and Maimone summarized the literature and shared their valuable thoughts on respiratory alterations and monitoring of the liver-lung crosstalk in critically ill patients with acute or chronic liver failure.

          Alongside the kidneys and lungs, the liver has been recognised as an important regulator of acid-base homeostasis. While respiratory alkalosis is the most common acid-base disorder in chronic liver disease, various complex metabolic acid-base disorders may occur with liver dysfunction. While the standard variables of acid-base equilibrium, such as pH and overall base excess, often fail to unmask the underlying cause of acid-base disorders, the physical–chemical acid-base model provides a more in-depth pathophysiological assessment for clinical judgement of acid-base disorders, in patients with liver diseases.
