| Description | The regulation of the acid-base balance is generally regarded as a well entrenched area. However, a number of confusing views on pH-homeostasis, especially with reference to the relationship between the kidney and the ammonium buffer system, appear regularly in textbooks. One reason is that the correct stoichiometry of acid-base regulation is not mentioned. Recently the rote of the liver in pH regulation by controlling the bicarbonate concentration through urea synthesis is proposed. In this paper the role of the liver and kidneys as a team is discussed. Die handhawing van suur-basisewewig in soogdiere word as ’n goeddeurtrapte paadjie beskou. Ongelukkig verskyn daar gedurig verwarrings in die literatuur, met spesifieke verwysing na die rol van die ammoniumbuffersisteem in die nier gedurende asidose. Dit is ‘n jammerte dat die korrekte stoichiometrie van die regulering van suurbasisewewig nie altyd na waarde geskat word nie. Onlangs is beweer dat die lewer ook ’n rol in pH-regulering speel en wel deur die proses van ureumsintese. Die doel van hierdie oorsigartikel is om die rol van die hepatorenale sisteem in pH-regulering te bespreek. | |
