Abstract:
There is a lack of a reliable comprehensive evaluation indicator to access the health effects of drinking water. In recent years, scholars established an indicator to evaluate the comprehensive effect of drinking water on the body's acid-base balance. This indicator came from the potential renal acid load (PRAL) of food and named the potential renal acid load of drinking water. It included several typical anions and cations which are widely found in drinking water. This article reviewed the application, advantages, and disadvantages of PRAL in accessing the effect of drinking water on body acidbase metabolism.
