Abstract Introduction Metabolic alkalosis is a commonly encountered acid-base derangement in the intensive care unit. Treatment with the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor acetazolamide is indicated in selected cases. According to the quantitative approach described by Stewart correction of serum pH due to carbonic anhydrase inhibition in the proximal tubule cannot be explained by excretion of bicarbonate. Using the Stewart approach we studied the mechanism of action of acetazolamide in critically ill patients with a metabolic alkalosis. Methods Fifteen consecutive intensive care unit patients with metabolic alkalosis pH 7.48 and HCO3- 28 mmol l were treated with a single administration of 500 mg acetazolamide intravenously. Serum levels of strong ions creatinine lactate weak acids pH and partial carbon dioxide tension were measured at 0 12 24 48 and 72 hours. The main strong ions in urine and pH were measured at 0 3 6 12 24 48 and 72 hours. Strong ion difference SID strong ion gap .
