1
Q

Is reabsorption of filtered HCO3- in the PCT driven by primary or secondary transport?

A

secondary

2
Q

In the PCT, for every HCO3- that is reabsorbed, how many H+ are secreted?

A

none

3
Q

Which cells in the nephron loop produce H+?

A

alpha-intercalated cells

4
Q

In the DCT and CD, for each H+ excreted, how many HCO3- are reabsorbed?

A

one

5
Q

In the PCT, NH3 and HCO3- are produced via ?

A

NH3 is produced from glutamine

HCO3- is produced from a-ketoglutarate

6
Q

What is the excretion of H+ as a titratable acid and H+ as NH4+ under normal conditions ?

A
  • H+ production: 50 mEQ/day
  • excrete H+ 20 mEQ/day (titratable acid)
  • excrete H+ 30 mEQ/day as NH4+
7
Q

What is the excretion of H+ as a titratable acid and H+ as NH4+ in diabetic keto acidosis ?

A
  • H+ production: 500 mEQ/day
  • excrete H+ 100 mEQ/day (titratable acid)
  • excrete H+ 400 mEQ/day as NH4+
8
Q

What is the excretion of H+ as a titratable acid and H+ as NH4+ in chronic renal failure ?

A
  • H+ production: 50 mEQ/day
  • excrete H+ 10 mEQ/day (titratable acid)
  • excrete H+ 5 mEQ/day as NH4+
9
Q

Name the primary disturbance in metabolic acidosis.

A

decreased HCO3-

Q

Name the primary disturbance in metabolic alkalosis.

A

increased HCO3-

Q

What is the respiratory compensation in metabolic acidosis?

A

hyperventilation

14

What is the respiratory compensation in metabolic alkalosis?

A

hypoventilation

15
Q

What is the renal compensation or correction in metabolic acidosis?

A

increased HCO3- reabsorption

16
Q

What is the renal compensation or correction in metabolic alkalosis ?

A

increased HCO3- excretion

Q

What is the renal compensation or correction in respiratory acidosis ?

A

increased HCO3- reabsorption
