Acid-base homeostasis refers to the physiological processes that maintain the balance of acids and bases in the body, ensuring a stable pH level, typically around 7.35 to 7.45. This balance is crucial for optimal cellular function, enzyme activity, and metabolic processes. Disruptions can lead to conditions such as acidosis or alkalosis, which can significantly impact organ function and overall health, necessitating prompt diagnosis and management in clinical practice.
