Complicated pregnancies in inherited distal renal tubular acidosis: importance of acid-base balance.

Inherited distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is caused by impaired urinary acid excretion resulting in hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis. Although the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is usually preserved, and hypertension and overt proteinuria are absent, it has to be considered that patients with dRTA also suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD) with an increased risk for adverse pregnancy...

Renal Regulation of Acid-base Balance

T his article reviews the role of the kidneys in the regulation of acid-base balance. It is intended as a guide for those who teach this aspect of renal physiology to health professions students. An approach is described, which begins with an overview of acid-base balance and then proceeds to describe the details of renal H1 transport and the important role the production and excretion of NH4 1...

Renal regulation of acid-base balance.

Because maintaining a normal body pH is essential to the efficient functioning of many physiologic processes, the body has a number of mechanisms that prevent pH fluctuations. Some of these prevent minute-to-minute pH fluctuations over the course of the day, whereas others maintain pH balance from day to day. The kidney plays a key role in both processes. The renal process of bicarbonate reclam...

Protective effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Alcea rosea aerial parts on cadmium chloride-induced renal dysfunction in male rats

Background and Aims: Cadmium chloride causes renal dysfunction. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Alcea rosea aerial parts on cadmium chloride-induced renal dysfunction in male rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 54 adult male Wistar rats were assigned to six groups (n=9 in each group). The control group, the sham gr...
