How do kidneys maintain acid–base balance?

3️⃣ key functions:
🧪 Reclaim filtered bicarb
⬆️ H⁺ secretion
➕ Generate new bicarb

ABG is the gold standard, but arterial sticks hurt & carry risks. A Kidney360 study (5,419 paired samples) derived formulas to estimate arterial pH, pCO₂ & HCO₃⁻ from VBG—meeting acceptable clinical expectations. #Nephrology #CriticalCare #AcidBase

Step 4: anion gap🤯(5/6)

Anion gap= Na+ - (Cl- + HCO3-)
Normal range= 8-12

High anion gap acidosis causes: Lactate, DKA/HHS, renal failure, toxins (methanol, salicylates)

Normal anion gap acidosis causes: Diarrhoea, renal tubular acidosis, Addison’s

Step 2: determine the main problem🔎(3/6)

Look at the CO2 and the HCO3- to figure out if the issue is respiratory or metabolic.

CO2 high= respiratory acidosis
CO2 low= respiratory alkalosis
HCO3- high= metabolic alkalosis
HCO3- low= metabolic acidosis

#medschool #medicaleducation #abg #acidbase

Step 1: what is the pH?🤯(2/6)

The most important thing to start with is finding out whether the pH is acidotic, alkalotic, or normal.
pH<7.35 is acidotic
pH>7.45 is alkalotic
7.35<pH<7.45 is normal, BUT that doesn’t mean everything is actually normal.

Urine Acid/Base Score for Predicting CKD Progression | Docwire News Researchers proposed that a urine acid/base score accounting for both the demand and capacity for acid excretion would better predict chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Could a urine acid/base score accounting for both the demand and capacity for acid excretion better predict CKD progression? #kidneydisease #acidbase

This is probably most digestible Acid-Base Disorder algorithm I have come across. Great for providing teaching to learners and handy pocket reference. #MedSky #IMsky #internalmedicine #acidbase

2) Intro nomogram
3) Solve with nomogram
4) Intro mixed & partially compensated disorders
5) Intro 'rules'. Solve without nomogram
6) Test knowledge on metabolic acidoses
7) Create quick eval of acidoses
