Metabolic acidosis is a typical concern in renal populations, including renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Metabolic acidosis is a typical concern in renal populations, including renal transplant ...

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 ...

Vegetable protein (soy-based above) can affect levels of FGF-23 and bicarbonate. The Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study (CRIC) has recently shown potential benefits of vegetable protein intake ...

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 ...

Acid-base balance is one of the most tightly regulated physiologic systems in the human body. In healthy individuals, chronic systemic acidification is highly unlikely because multiple compensatory ...

The plasma potassium level is normally maintained within narrow limits (typically, 3.5 to 5.0 mmol per liter) by multiple mechanisms that collectively make up potassium homeostasis. Such strict ...

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 ...
