In this episode, we begin a multi-part series regarding electrolytes. Listen in as we discuss hypo and hyper states, and the obscure changes that will drastically change your plan of attack in the patient with dyschloremia. We also briefly touch on acid-base balance and the limitations of anion gap.

What do you think about Walmarts Hydrated Alkaline Water 9.5ph
Interesting. I’m honestly not familiar with it.
