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 evaluation of any acid–base disturbance requires a knowledge of the expected degree of compensation for a primary disorder of any specified magnitude. The most logical approach to this problem is ...

Your body is constantly performing a delicate balancing act that most of us never think about. While we’re busy worrying about calories and carbs, a microscopic chemistry experiment determines how ...

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 ...
