The acid-base balance and the homeostasis of water and ions by Konstantinos V. Spyropoulos is a manual that aims to present, in a clear and concise manner, the movement of water, ions, acids, and bases within the human body.

In order to explain both the acid-base balance and its variations, the book covers topics such as the homeostasis of water, sodium, potassium, and other ions, disorders such as hypokalemia and hyperkalemia, as well as the functioning of invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation.

The self-assessment questions provided at the end of the book are an additional element that makes the manual useful for any student, scientist, or clinical researcher who wants to delve into the topic of acid-base balance.

The acid-base balance and the homeostasis of water and ions is certainly a work that satisfies the demanding reader and undoubtedly has a place in every modern and informed scientific library.
