Acid-base balance refers to the levels of acidity and alkalinity your blood needs in order to keep your body functioning. Too much acid in the blood is known as acidosis, while too much alkalinity is ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The importance of acid-base balance and effects of dietary induced acidosis were acknowledged and investigated intensively during the symposium. Mild metabolic acidosis was identified as a significant ...

Metabolic acidosis happens when your body is more acidic than basic. This condition is also called acute metabolic acidosis. It’s a common side effect of some chronic and urgent health problems.

Diets rich in animal protein and cereal grains and deficient in vegetables and fruits may cause low-grade metabolic acidosis, which may impact exercise and health. We hypothesized that (1) a ...
