Actual (reported)Acid/base imbalances are not well understood in pre-eclamptics, and better tools are needed to allow a thorough and meaningful evaluation. Disorders of electrolytes and albumin are common findings \[13, 14\], and the impact of such disorders on acid-base homeostasis has increasingly been acknowledged \[4, 15\]. The purpose of this prospective case-control study is to evaluate acid-base status in 100 women with mild or severe pre-eclampsia and 25 healthy controls by applying the Stewart Fencl's physicochemical acid-base model. We hypothesize that several simultaneous, and possibly offsetting, metabolic acid-base disorders will be identified and quantified, and that these may be useful to guide clinicians in their medical management and indication for delivery. Intermediate and long-term goals are to evaluate the ability of the Stewart Fencl's physicochemical acid-base model to guide fluid management and predict maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Acid-base in severe pre-eclampsia
Patients diagnosed with mild pre-eclampsia and admitted on the labor and delivery unit at the UWMC will be included consecutively and their clinical course will be followed, until 25 cases have progressed to severe pre-eclampsia. At each state of the disease a blood gas will be drawn (mild disease, severe disease, beginning labor or with decision for cesarean delivery). However, some women will deliver before severe pre-eclampsia develops (continuing mild pre-eclampsia), because disease is either late or only slowly progressing (study flow chart). Analyzing the number of women treated for mild and severe pre-eclampsia in 2011 and 2012, we are expecting to see a 3x higher number of mild than severe cases of pre-eclampsia, which means we will need to enroll approximately 100 women with mild pre-eclampsia in order to have 25 who develop severe pre-eclamsia..
