This pH parameter of the body is regulated by the kidneys and lungs through hydrogen secretion and reabsorption of bicarbonate from the filtrate in the convoluted tubules.

A

Acid-base content

32
Q

It is often associated with early renal disease; and requires additional tests to determine if normal or pathologic.
