Abstract
To examine modifications of acid-base balance in cirrhotic patients during surgery 202 hepatectomies were reviewed: hepatectomy was followed by a decrease in pH, bicarbonate and base excess in all patients, worsened by blood transfusion and severity of liver disease. A postresection bicarbonate level lower than 19.4 mmol/L was an adverse prognostic factor.
