What is metabolic acidosis in chronic renal failure from?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Renal failure: A buildup of acid occurs in renal failure as the kidneys are central in acid-base balance and regulation. Acid is a byproduct of metabolism and the inability to excrete it effectively from the kidneys results in a metabolic acidosis.
