Schematic representation of the excessive release of acids into the bloodstream on bone tissue. The excess of acid release into the bloodstream, in detriment of the release of bases, may predispose to impaired bone metabolism, which involves the increased release of PTH with a consequent increase in osteoclasts activity and bone resorption, reducing the bone tissue mineralization. As a consequence, there may be an increased risk of bone fractures and bone mass reduction.
