Acid-Base and Electrolyte Disorders

Acid-base and electrolyte disorders involve imbalances in the body's pH levels and the minerals that help regulate bodily functions. In the context of bone and mineral endocrinology, these disorders can affect bone health and mineral balance, leading to conditions such as osteoporosis or weakened bones. The body needs a precise balance of acids, bases, and minerals like calcium and phosphate to maintain strong bones and proper function. Imbalances can occur due to various reasons, including diet, kidney function, or hormonal changes, affecting overall health and bone integrity.
