Abstract
Acetate-buffered balanced fluids show superior buffering effects compared with Ringer's lactate or saline. Gluconate is partially metabolized by the liver, although it does not contribute to acid-base control because of its excretion in urine. Acetate is metabolized regardless of liver function and may be the most efficient bicarbonate precursor. Lactate infusion tends to overwhelm the metabolism capacity of the residual liver.
