If the body's pH balance is too low (acidic), the lungs and the kidneys constantly remove carbon dioxide, which helps to neutralize hydrogen ions. Conversely, if it is too high (alkaline), the kidneys excrete bicarbonate iron that elevates the hydrogen ion concentration, creating a more acidic environment.n chemistry, pH is the acronym for Potential Hydrogen and it is the measurement of acidity. An acid is any chemical that releases hydrogen ions in solution. The Potential Hydrogen scale was invented in 1909 to measure the acidity of beer.
The leading cause of kidney stones is a lack of water. Stones commonly have been found in those that drink less than the recommended eight to ten glasses of water a day. When there is not enough water to dilute the uric acid (component of urine), the pH level within the kidneys drops and becomes more acidic. An excessively acidic environment in the kidneys is conducive to the formation of kidney stones. Medical conditions such as Crohn's disease, urinary tract infections, renal tubular acidosis, hyperparathyroidism, medullary sponge kidney, and Dent's disease have been known to lead to kidney stones.
