01
Overview
Urinary pH modulation via urinary acidification refers to the physiological and pharmacological processes that lower the pH of urine, making it more acidic. This process is crucial for maintaining systemic acid-base balance, influencing drug excretion, and preventing or promoting certain types of kidney stone formation. It encompasses a networked set of molecular mechanisms rather than a single molecule/receptor but centers on renal epithelial transporters/enzymes responsible for proton secretion and bicarbonate handling within the nephron.
