Basic/Clinical Science Session

Recent Discoveries in Acid-Base Physiology

October 26, 2024 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM

Location: Room 6D/E, Convention Center

Session Description

This session highlights advances in the field of acid-base physiology, including a study that redefines how base is transported in the kidneys, recently discovered sensing mechanisms in kidney intercalated cells, and newly uncovered processes that facilitate the response to metabolic alkalosis.

Learning Objective(s)

  • Describe how base is transported in the proximal tubule
  • Discuss new mechanisms that mediate acid-base sensing in intercalated cells
  • Define the role of the V-ATPase B1 subunit in metabolic alkalosis
  • Explain how secretin participates in a gut-kidney axis that facilitates renal bicarbonate excretion

Learning Pathway(s)

  • Fluid‚ Electrolyte‚ and Acid-Base Disorders
  • Kidney Biology and Physiology
