Describes acid-base physiology and discusses the diagnosis and treatment of disorders associated with metabolic acidosis and metabolic alkalosis, as well as plasma potassium disorders. Metabolic ...

This review describes a method of analyzing acid–base disorders that incorporates insights from the traditional, bicarbonate-centered model and the Stewart (or strong ion) model (Table 1). 1–6 ...

Paracrine communication between different parts of the renal tubule is required for the maintenance of systemic acid–base balance, say researchers. “We demonstrate that the kidney regulates acid–base ...

The anion gap blood test measures the acid-base and electrolyte balance in the blood. Results can show whether there is an imbalance in a person’s pH levels, which may be making the blood too acidic ...

The kidneys are responsible for maintaining the balance of acids, bases, fluids and electrolytes in the body, avoiding significant fluctuations that can lead to life-threatening conditions. Acid, base ...

Internal acid–base homeostasis is fundamental for maintaining life. Accurate and timely interpretation of an acid–base disorder can be lifesaving, but the establishment of a correct diagnosis may be ...
