Overview:
Latent acidosis is a chronic over-acid load that does not necessarily show up in blood pH—but still stresses the body’s buffer systems. This module explains its significance as a risk factor for many chronic diseases.
- Physiology of acid–base regulation: buffer systems, renal regulation, and tissue-level effects
- Consequences of latent acidosis: mineral loss, inflammation, reduced mitochondrial function, metabolic imbalance
- Diagnostics and practical strategies: nutrition, mineral support, and lifestyle for acid–base balance
Learning Objectives:
You will be able to recognize signs of latent acidosis and understand its role in chronic disease development. This supports more targeted metabolic and preventive strategies for your patients.
