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 ...

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 ...
