Acid-base balance is the maintenance of blood pH within a very narrow range, essential for enzymes and cells to function. The kidney and the lungs are the main regulators: the kidney adjusts acid excretion and bicarbonate reabsorption, in addition to filtering the blood and controlling water, electrolytes, and blood pressure.
On this map it connects with blood pressure, detoxification, and goals where kidney health and mineral management matter. Adequate hydration, electrolyte balance, and not overloading the kidney with excess protein or toxins help preserve this function.
