REGULATION OF ACID-BASE HOMEOSTASIS BY THE KIDNEY

Acid-base.

Acid-base disorders are common clinical problems resulting from a wide variety of pathophysiological conditions, including newly recognised acquired and genetic causes. The history and physical examination and measurement of blood and urinary indices allow identification of the underlying cause of these disorders in most cases. Treatment directed at correction of electrolyte abnormalities and t...

Acid-base Interactions 10.1 GENERAL CONCEPT OF ACID-BASE INTERACTIONS

Acid-base interactions have found numerous applications in research dealing with adsorption of molecules of liquids on the surfaces of solids. The main focus of this research is to estimate the thermodynamic work of adhesion, determine mechanism of interactions, analyze the morphology of interfaces and various surface coatings, develop surface modifiers, study the aggregation of macromolecular ...

The Effect of Acid and Base Ingestion upon the Acid-base Balance.*

Previous to the conception of hydrogen ion concentration as an index of acidity or alkalinity, only hazy notions existed as to the reaction of the body fluids. Soon after the acid-base balance was more fully comprehended, it became a prevalent idea that the reaction of the blood and tissues was maintained within exceedingly close limits and that any appreciable variation would be incompatible w...

Acid-Base Made Easy

The differential diagnoses for acid-base problems can be reduced to a workable few by using a minimal amount of laboratory data. Following well-established principles and formulas, the presenter will help you resolve common acidbase problem cases. • Identify etiologies of anion gap and non-anion gap acidosis. • Explain the principle of osmolar gap. • Differentiate the causes of acid-base distur...
