Buffers‚ and pH‚ and Diffusion oh my The pH of a solution is the measure of the concentration of charged Hydrogen ions in that given solution. A solution with a pH lower than seven is considered to be acidic. A solution with a higher pH is a base. It is very important for organisms to maintain a stable pH. Biological molecules such as proteins function only at a certain pH level and any changes in pH can result in them not functioning properly. To maintain these constant pH levels‚ buffer solutions

regulation. When someone has to be placed on dialysis their body goes through a process that waste products are excreted from our bodies artificially by a process called diffusion. This process of removal of waste products in a healthy person is facilitated by kidneys. People that is diagnosed with kidney failure experiences problems with waste removal this is where dialysis comes into place. People with renal failure and are in the process of dialysis have been known to have several homeostatic

M.D. Stegall in “A Curious Chain of Events” acknowledges that chain transplants or PKD can save certain death of renal patients on dialysis whereby granting them an allograft donor kidney bypassing the long wait on the UNOS deceased donor list. This impact of removal from UNOS also allows another potential recipient to be moved up on the UNOS list. Alison Tierney states in “Gift or

most common form of transplant after the corneal one is the kidney transplant. It is the most effective and efficient way of resuming kidney function in the body caused due to kidney failure (various causes) and is proven to be more effective than dialysis. The number of people waiting for a kidney transplant is growing and the number of kidney donors is decreasing rapidly. The sale of kidneys has spawned a raging debate regarding its legal‚ ethical and economical implications. To know the debate‚
