RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: The traditional evaluation of acid-base status relies on the Henderson-Hasselbach equation. In 1983, an alternative approach, based on physical and chemical principles was proposed by P. Stewart. In this approach, plasma pH is determined by 3 independent variables: pCO2, Strong Ion Difference (SIDm), which is the difference between the strong cations (Na +, K +, Ca ++, Mg ++) and the strong anions (Cl-, lactate) and total plasma concentration of nonvolatile weak acids (ATot), mainly inorganic phosphate and albumin. Bicarbonate is considered a dependent variable. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acid-base status using both perspectives, physical chemical and traditional approach. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied 35 patients (24 M; 11F) on hemodiafiltration, mean age was 67,2+/-15,7, 8+/-19,2 kg. We analyzed plasma chemistry including pH, pCO2, HCO3-, base excess and Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca++, Mg++, lactate and SIDm. The SID estimated (SIDe) was calculated by Figge's formula (1000 x 2.46E-11 x pCO2 / (10-pH) + Album gr/dl x (0.123 x pH-0.631) + P in mmol/l x (0.309 x pH-0.469) and Gap of the SID as the difference SIDm-SIDe. RESULTS: pH preHD was 7,36+/-0,08 and pH posHD 7,44+/-0,08 (p < 0.001). There was no significant differences between pCO2 pre and pos-HD. HCO3 - and base excess increased during the session (p < 0.001). SIDm decreased from 46,2+/-2,9 preHD to 45+/-2,3 mEq/l postHD (p < 0.05). On the opposite, SIDe increased from 38,5+/-3,8 to 42,9+/-3,1 mEq/l (p < 0.001). The Gap Anion descended from 18,6+/-3,8 preHD to 12,8+/-2,8 mEq/l mEq/l postHD (p < 0.001) and the Gap of the SID 7,6+/-3 to 2,1+/-2 (p < 0.001). Anion Gap correlated with the Gap-SID so much pre-HDF as pos-HDF. Delta Base excess correlated only with Delta of the Gap SID. CONCLUSION: Stewart-Fencl's approach does not improve characterization of acid-base status in patients on chronic HDF. In presence of normocloremia the SIDm does not reflect the alkalinizing process of the session of hemodialysis. According this approach, hemodialysis therapy can be viewed as a withdrawal of inorganic anions, especially the sulphate. These anions are replaced by OH - and secondarily for HCO3-. The approach only improves the evaluation of unmeasured anions by the Gap of the SID, without the effect of albumin and phosphate.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the number of smokers, their demographic characteristics, and the stages of change among patients visiting health care centers. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Descriptive cross-sectional study carried out at 7 primary health care centers in Health District 5 of the Autonomous Community of Valencia. RESULTS: An interview was given to 3633 people with a mean (SD) age of 55 (19) years, (range: 14-96 years). Women made up 61.7%, and 65% were seeking medical attention. Twenty-three per cent were current smokers (mean age 41.8 [15.2] years), 17.2% ex-smokers (60.6 [16.2] years), and 59.8% never smokers (58.4 [18.8] years). The stages of change were pre-contemplation for 32.1%, contemplation for 4.9%, chronic contemplation for 12.2%, preparation to quit for 6.8%, action for 2.3%, maintenance for 15.1%, and termination for 26.7%. According to current recommendations, it seems that between 23.6% and 44.7%, depending on category definitions, needed specific attention concerning tobacco dependence. CONCLUSIONS: Twenty-three per cent of the patients attended by the primary care physician were smokers. More than half did not want to quit smoking and 1 in 10 were prepared to do so. Between 23.6% and 44.7% of the people who came to the primary care center needed specific attention concerning tobacco dependence.

Introducción: la evaluación del equilibrio ácido-base se basa en la ecuación de Henderson-Hasselbach. En 1983, P. Stewart desarrolló un análisis cuantitativo del equilibrio ácido-base en el que muestra un sistema con unas variables independientes entre las que se incluyen pCO2, diferencia iónica fuerte medida (SIDm), es decir, la diferencia entre la suma de cationes fuertes (Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++) y la suma de aniones fuertes (Cl, lactato) y la concentración total de todos los aniones débiles no volátiles (ATot), cuyos principales representantes son el fósforo inorgánico (P) y la albúmina (Albúm.). El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar desde ambas perspectivas el equilibrio ácido-base en pacientes en hemodiafiltración (HDF) crónica. Material y métodos: se estudian 35 pacientes (24 hombres y 11 mujeres, con una edad media de 67,2 ± 15,7 años y con un peso seco de 72,8 ± 19,2 kg. La duración media de la hemodiálisis (HD) fue de 253,6 ± 40,5 minutos. Se analizan los parámetros gasométricos (pH, pCO2, HCO3y exceso de bases) y Na+, K+, Cl, Ca++, Mg++ y lactato. Se calcularon la SIDm, la SIDe mediante la fórmula de Figge (1.000 x 2,4611 x pCO2 /[10 pH] + Albúm. g/dl x [0,123 x pH 0,631] + P en mmol/l x [0,309 x pH 0,469)] y gap del SID (SIDm-SIDe). Resultados: el pH pre-HD fue de 7,36 ± 0,08 y el pH post-HD de 7,44 ± 0,08 (p <0,001). No se apreciaron diferencias significativas entre pCO2 pre y post-HD. El HCO3 y el exceso de bases se incrementaron durante la sesión (p <0,001). La SIDm descendió de manera significativa de 46,2 ± 2,9 preHD a 45 ± 2,3 post-HD (p <0,05). Por el contrario, la SIDe se elevó de 38,5 ± 3,8 a 42,9 ± 3,1 (p <0,001). El anion gap descendió de 18,6 ± 3,8 pre-HD a 12,8 ± 2,8 Eq/l post-HD (p <0,001) y el gap del SID de 7,6 ± 3 a 2,1 ± 2 (p <0,001). Se apreció una correlación entre el anion gap y el gap-SID tanto antes como después de la HDF. Asimismo, se apreció una correlación significativa entre el ?? exceso de bases y ?? del gap-SID. Conclusión: en conclusión, la aproximación físico-química de Stewart-Fencl no mejora la valoración del equilibrio ácido-base en pacientes en HDF crónica. En presencia de normocloremia la SIDm no refleja el proceso alcalinizante de la sesión de hemodiálisis. Bajo esta perspectiva, la sesión de hemodiálisis se concibe como una retirada de aniones inorgánicos no metabolizables, en especial el sulfato. El espacio dejado por estos aniones es reemplazado por OHy secundariamente por HCO3. La única ventaja vendría dada por una mejor valoración de los aniones no medidos mediante el gap del SID, sin el efecto de la albúmina y el fosfato (AU)

Results: pH preHD was 7.36 ± 0.08 and pH post-HD 7.44 ± 0.08 (p <0.001). There was no significant differences between pCO2 pre- and post-HD. HCO3 and base excess increased during the session (p <0.001). SIDm decreased from 46.2 ± 2.9 pre-HD to 45 ± 2.3 mEq/l post-HD (p <0.05). On the opposite, SIDe increased from 38.5 ± 3.8 to 429 ± 3.1 mEq/l (p <0.001). The Gap Anion descended from 18.6 ± 3.8 pre-HD to 12.8 ± 2.8 mEq/l post-HD (p <0.001) and the Gap of the SID 7.6 ± 3 to 2.1 ± 2 (p <0.001). Anion Gap correlated with the Gap-SID so much pre-HDF as pos-HDF. ?? Base excess correlated only with ?? of the Gap SID.
