The effect of parathyroid hormone and other metabolic factors on extrarenal acid buffering.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is an 84-amino acid, a polypeptide hormone which acts in many tissues. In the human there are many clinical examples of both primary and secondary PTH excess states; while deficiency states also occur, they are far less common. This manuscript reviews the effects of PTH on extrarenal acid buffering and discusses the possible mechanisms which are involved.
