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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
