Results and discussion

Results:
Laboratory data confirmed profound metabolic acidosis. Unduly large quantities of bicarbonate and potassium were required for correction of the deficits. The combination of impaired renal function and effective hydrogen ion loading resulted in profound systemic acidosis.
