Acid-Base Flashcards
what is the significance of glutamine in ammonia buffering
glutamine has two ammonia groups that it breaks down and releases in the tubular fluid
how does decrease in PaCO2 affect H+ secretion
decreases H+ secretion
how does an increase in angiotensin II affect H+ secretion
increases H+ secretion
renal compensation for respiratory alkalosis
decrease bicarbonate and decrease acid excretion in the urine
pH range of intracellular fluid
6.0-7.4
what change in pH is needed to double or half the hydrogen concentration
0.3
how does increase in plasma HCO3 affect H+ secretion
decreases H+ secretion
what happens to the hydrogen concentration in the ICF in acidemia
increases (takes in H+)
what happens to the hydrogen concentration in the ICF in alkalemia
decreases (donates H+)
how does a decrease in ECF volume affect H+ secretion
increases H+ secretion
what are the two ways ammonia can cross the apical membrane
through an ammonia/Na+ transporter
passively
renal compensation for respiratory acidosis
increase bicarbonate and increase acid excretion in the urine
how does an increase in ECF volume affect H+ secretion
decreases H+ secretion
how does decrease in plasma HCO3 affect H+ secretion
increases H+ secretion
how does hypokalemia affect H+ secretion
increases H+ secretion
