Abstract
Both because of its properties as a buffer and its function as a major intracellular anion, phosphate plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of acid-base homeostasis. This review is concerned with the impact of phosphate on three interrelated aspects of acid-base physiology and pathophysiology. These are the role of phosphate as a urinary buffer, its relationship to the formation of urinary carbon dioxide tension, and the effects of phosphate depletion on urinary acidification.
