Ileocolonic luminal pH has been reported to be abnormally low in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, and one of the causative factors may be reduced epithelial HCO(3)(-) secretory rate (J(HCO3)(-)). Disturbances in J(HCO3)(-) may occur due to inflammation-induced changes in the crypt and villous architecture, or due to the effect of proinflammatory cytokines on epithelial ion transporters.
