Our lifestyles and eating habits can lead to acid build up and push the body to an unhealthy state. Understanding alkaline body state is important for our long term health. 'Some eat to live while ...

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 ...

Describes acid-base physiology and discusses the diagnosis and treatment of disorders associated with metabolic acidosis and metabolic alkalosis, as well as plasma potassium disorders. Metabolic ...

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 ...

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 ...

Introduction: Peripheral venous blood sample may be used to obtain acid-base balance parameters (PVA-BP) measured in rapid point-of-care test (POCT) analyzers on admission to an emergency department ...

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 ...
