Abstract
The renal acid-base homeostasis may be broadly divided into two processes: (1) reabsorption of filtered HCO3−, which occurs fundamentally in the proximal convoluted tubule; and (2) excretion of fixed acids through the titration of urinary buffers and the excretion of ammonium, which takes place primarily in the distal nephron.Keywords
