Talk:Acid–base disorder

Merge proposal
It seems to me that Acid-base homeostasis should be the main article for this topic, and that acid-base imbalance should be merged into it, as well as much of mixed disorder of acid-base balance. If no one objects, I'll do it. I'm posting word on those pages and the The Doctor's Mess. - Draeco (talk) 04:45, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

 * And the next day, you recreated acid-base imbalance. Diff, edit summary: condensed "Imbalance" material, which I'm splitting out into its own article acid-base imbalance.

carbon dioxide levels in classification table
I'm no physician, but it seems like the table should read more like this:

Am I just misunderstanding things, or do the "down" and "up" in those cells represent some level of respiratory compensation that has already occurred? And should/could a "bicarbonate" column be added to the table? Thanks in advance to the expert who can clear this up. 65.0.215.24 (talk) 14:23, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * type of acid/alkal-osis and compensation require knowledge of the bicarbonate level, this article needs help and you're right. Je.rrt (talk) 19:02, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
