An Educational Web Site about Modern Human Acid-Base Physiology:
The Figge-Fencl Quantitative Physicochemical Model of Human Acid-Base Physiology

Presented by James Figge, MD, MBA, FACP.

Dedicated to the memory of Vladimir Fencl, MD, CSc (PhD).


Background Information

For background information about the quantitative approach to human acid-base physiology, visit the related site: http://www.acidbase.org/.

The original text of Peter Stewart's classic book, How to Understand Acid-Base: A Quantitative Acid-Base Primer for Biology and Medicine, is available without charge. In addition, the second edition of the book, entitled Stewart's Textbook of Acid-Base (John A. Kellum and Paul W.G. Elbers, editors, 2009), is now available for purchase at http://www.acidbase.org/. The second edition features Stewart's original text plus over 20 new chapters that highlight advances in the field.
