Acid-base balance regulators encompass medications and compounds that help maintain the body's pH level within a narrow range. The body's acid-base balance is essential for normal cellular function and overall health. Imbalances can lead to acidosis (excess acid) or alkalosis (excess base), which can be life-threatening. These regulators include medications that help correct acid-base imbalances by either increasing or decreasing the levels of bicarbonate and hydrogen ions in the blood.
