Kidney Stones And Acid Balance

The kidneys function as more than just a process to xcrete
nitrogenous waste. They conserve water and maintaining

a water-salt balance and acid-base balance in the blood. This

process is highly controlled by the kidneys in that it will pick
and choose what is retained or excreted.

The kidneys may excrete something as waste and in the next
second they may retain it.

The kidneys are primary organs of homeostasis. If the
blood does not have the usual water-salt (electrolyte) balance,
the blood volume and blood pressure are also affected.
  
Without adequate blood pressure, glomerular filtration in the
kidneys and exchanges across the capillary walls can not take
place.The body requires several minerals and trace minerals that
are essential in the formation and processes of the cells and body
fluids. The body contains more than 5 grams of each major mineral
and less than 5 grams (about a teaspoon) for each trace mineral. The
body also requires vitamins, but if the body gets the minerals it requires
it can make most of the vitamins it needs.

Sodium regulates the body's water balance along with chloride. It is only
recommended that a person takes in 500 mg of sodium daily. The average
Americans consume 4,000 mg or more of sodium daily. Magnesium is also
important to the functioning of enzymes.

Most people are taking in too much or not enough of the amounts of
minerals and trace minerals they need. This can lead to mineral imbalances
in the body and when there is an imbalance, the body is usually highly acidic
which in turn sets the stage for disease and problems in the body such as
kidney stones.

If the body is alkaline there can be
no pain and there would be no disease.
