Regulation of Acid Base Balance (Lecture and DSA) Flashcards

1
Q

What are nonvolatile sources of acid? how are they excreted?

A

Via the kidneys.

Cysteine, Methionine = Sulfuric acid
Lysine, Arginine, Histidine = Hydrochloric acid
Organic acids = Bicarb

Q

Formula for Net Acid Excretion

A

(Acid excretion) - (Bicarb)

[(UNH4)(V) + (UTA)(V)] - (UHCO3)(V)
