Introduction to Renal Function

Question 1

Patient with** metabo.** acid.,

Question 2

Metabolic alkalosis,
Respiratory system compensates by retaining more acid, i.e. by hypoventilation to retain more CO2
This is wrong

Respiratory compensation for met. alkalosis is complicated, initially, there would be hypoventilating

Answer 2

Respiratory acidosis, the metabolic system compensates by retaining more bicarb.
This is achieved by renal system retaining more bicarbonate

Question 3

Respiratory alkalosis
metabolic system will compensate by increase renal excretion of bicarbonate

Answer 3

What does alkalymia lead to, hypokalemia
inverse for acidosis
