What is an "acid loading test"?
An acid loading test is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate how well the kidneys can handle and remove acid from the body. During the test, a person consumes a substance that increases the acid level in the blood. Blood and urine samples are then collected to measure how the body responds to this increase in acid. The test helps diagnose conditions related to kidney function and acid-base balance, such as metabolic acidosis or certain types of kidney disorders.
