BLOOD PH HOMEOSTASIS AND ITS DISTURBANCES: ACIDOSIS AND ALKALOSIS – A MEDICAL CHEMISTRY PERSPECTIVE
Keywords:
Blood pH, acid-base balance, acidosis, alkalosis, bicarbonate buffer system, Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, anion gap, carbonic anhydrase, metabolic acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, blood gas analysis, modern medical chemistry.Abstract
This article is written based on the analysis of modern scientific publications devoted to the chemical basis of blood pH regulation and the pathophysiology of acid-base disorders, including materials from international research centers and clinical chemistry laboratories. Particular attention is paid to the biochemical mechanisms of acidosis and alkalosis, their diagnosis, and the potential application of modern therapeutic approaches in the healthcare system of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
