alkalization

Treatment with urinary alkalinization may be helpful but evidence to support this practice is limited.

This alkalinization is performed to control corrosion of metal components.

Urine alkalinization may also be helpful in this setting.

Urine alkalinization and stone liberalization have been reported to be the most effective treatments in humans.

Dietary reduction of protein and alkalinization of the urine may help prevent formation.

In addition to acetazolamide or as an alternative, certain dietary supplements are available that produce a similar alkalinization of the urine.

Urine alkalinization is a common strategy to treat urate and cysteine renal stones.

The resultant alkalinization results in stone crystallization.

Cystine stone formation can be treated with urine alkalinization and dietary protein restriction.

Chemical alkalinization of all vesicles is often used for normalization of the synapto-pHluorin signals.

The use of urinary alkalinization exploits this particular aspect of salicylate elimination.

It should be emphasized that our patient demonstrated nephrocalcinosis prior to alkalinization with Polycitra to combat her metabolic acidosis.

Treatment for this toxicity requires hydration to increase urine flow and alkalinization of urine by sodium bicarbonate.

The mainstay for medical management of uric acid stones is alkalinization (increasing the pH) of the urine.

Ethanolamine is often used for alkalinization of water in steam cycles of power plants, including nuclear power plants with pressurized water reactors.

He observed rapid debridement, reductions in the number of pathogenic organisms, reduced odor levels, alkalinization of wound beds, and ideal rates of healing.

Alkalinization of the urine can decrease the renal elimination of amphetamines, both potentiating the strength and prolonging the mechanism of action, especially when ingested with sodium bicarbonate.

The management of rhabdomyolysis includes ensuring adequate hydration and urinary alkalinization; a complication of rhabdomyolysis is acute renal failure which may require management with hemodialysis.

The promotion of gravitropism in Arabidopsis roots upon actin disruption is coupled with the extended alkalinization of the columella cytoplasm and a persistent lateral auxin gradient.

Aside from alkalinization of the urine, these supplements have the added advantage of increasing the urinary citrate level, which helps to reduce the aggregation of calcium oxalate stones.

In addition, a local alkalinization of the apoplast due to such a stress can travel within minutes to the rest of the plant body via the xylem and trigger systemic acquired resistance.

Raising the urinary pH to a level higher than 7 (alkalinization) is often difficult to attain, although sodium bicarbonate and/or acetazolamide are sometimes used in an attempt to increase uric acid solubility.

If blood levels of potassium are depleted below normal levels, then hypokalemia occurs, which promotes bicarbonate ion retention and prevents bicarbonate excretion, thus interfering with alkalinization of the urine.

These data show that the glutamate uptake carrier generates an extracellular alkalinization and an intracellular acidification by transporting a pH-changing anion, presumably OH -or HCO, out of the cell.

He introduced the field of conservation to paper deacidification through alkalization.

This alkalization of the blood causes vessels to constrict (vasoconstriction).

Alkalization is also not required if uricase is used.

Routine alkalization of urine above pH of 7.0 is not recommended.

Alkalization makes a mellow cocoa, but it can also be a way of camouflaging inferior cocoa beans.

A potentially significant problem following bisulfite treatment is incomplete desulfonation of pyrimidine residues due to inadequate alkalization of the solution.

This reaction is reversible and Roussin's Red Salt is reformed upon alkalization of the reaction solution.

The incidence of delayed diarrhea was significantly reduced in this group when compared to 32 patients receiving the same chemotherapeutic regimen without oral alkalization and controlled defecation.

This occurs because alkalization of the plasma proteins (mainly albumin) increases their calcium binding affinity, thereby reducing free ionized calcium levels in the blood.

Initial treatment is with adequate hydration, alkalization of the urine with citrate supplementation or acetazolamide, and dietary modification to reduce salt and protein intake (especially methionine).

The stomach's acidic pH and the subsequent alkalization in the intestine modifies the degree of ionization of acids and weak bases depending on a substance's pKa.

First, it has been shown that activation of NADPH oxidase during a phagocytosis event results in alkalization of phagolysosomal pH in the human neutrophil [ 10 ] .

Takeda Y, Kobayashi K, Akiyama Y, et al.: Prevention of irinotecan (CPT-11)-induced diarrhea by oral alkalization combined with control of defecation in cancer patients.

Bamboo fabric is typically chemically manufactured by "cooking" the bamboo leaves and woody shoots in strong chemical solvents such as sodium hydroxide and carbon disulfide, in a process also known as hydrolysis alkalization combined with multi-phase bleaching.
