 ACID BASE BALANCE

pH (Potential of Hydrogen) =Log H+

The concept was introduced byS.P.L.S. Rensen in 1909

 Acid - Release H + ions

Base - Accept H+

ions

Buffer system

Provide or remove H+ and stabilize the pH

Include weak acids that can donate H+

andweak bases that can absorb H+

Does NOT prevent a pH change

pH different in different fluids

Blood pH 7.4

Urine 4.5 8.0 Gastric HCl 0.8

What happens if body is too acidic

q Energy Production

q Ability to repair damaged cells

q ability to detoxify heavy metals

Enable tumor cell to thrive

Susceptible to illnessTherefore Acidosis is more dangerous

Body produces more acids

than bases Acids taken in the foods

 Acids produced by metabolism of lipids& Proteins

Cellular metabolism produces CO2

CO2+H2O H2CO3 H

Bicarbonate Buffer system Present in large quantities

Respiratory and renal systems act onthis buffer system

Most important ECF buffer

Proteins Buffer system  Abundant in Blood and ISF pK close to 7.4 Carboxyl group gives up H+

 Amino group Accepts H+

RCOOH RCOO- + H+

RNH3  + H+ RNH4+

Haemoglobin Buffer Inside RBCs, Less efficient  pK = 7.7

Respiratory system 2nd line of defence

 Acts within min (maximum 12-24hrs)

H2CO3 produced converted to CO2, andexcreted by the lungs

 Alveolar ventilation also increases as pHdecreases (Rate & Depth)

Kidney buffer system

2nd line of defence

Can eliminate large amounts of acid

Can also excrete base

Can conserve and produce HCO3- ions Most effective regulator of pH If kidneys fail, pH balance fails

Why this is important? Because no other way to excrete these

acids (plasma conc 40nmols/day)

Reabsorption of filtered HCO3-

Renal Acid Base Regulation Kidneys help regulate blood pH by

excreting H+ & reabsorbing HCO3-

Most of the H+ secretion occurs across thewalls of the PCT in exchange for Na+

Urine is slightly acidic because kidney

absorbs almost all the HCO3- & excrete H+

Returns blood pH back to normal range

Bodys response to Acid base imbalanceCOMPENSATION

If Cause is Metabolic  Change in ventilation

can help RESPIRATORY COMPENSATION If cause is Respiratory  change in renal

excretion can help RENAL COMPENSATION
