Ph Balance
The kidneys regulate blood pH, maintaining the narrow range required for efficient metabolic processes. In chronic-kidney-disease, this regulation fails, leading to metabolic acidosis. Intervention is usually through fluid-therapy.
Key Facts
- Metabolic processes require a narrow pH range
- Kidney failure disrupts pH regulation
- Becomes clinically relevant at CKD Stage III+
- Corrected primarily through fluid therapy
- Species: dogs and cats
