Renal Acid/Base Flashcards
HCO3- reabsorption
99.9%
ESRD effects
decr plasma HCO3-
incr plasma K+
incr BP
decr Hct
incr Po4-
what typically triggers dialysis
high K+
why does Hct decreases in ESRD
decr EPO production
why does Po4- increase in ESRD
kidney is primary route of PO4- excretion
vital pH limits
6.8-7.8
how do we lower volatile acid
expiration
how much volatile acid do we produce
15,000 mEq /day
how much non volatile acid do we produce
70 mEq/day
how do we remove non volatile acid
secreted/excreted by kidney
foods that cause alkalosis
fruit
veg
food that cause acidosis
meats
grains
dairy
SAD results in
net endogenous acid production
pH ~
pH ~ renal function/pulm function
respiratory disturbance
kidney changes total HCO3-
renal disturbances
lungs change total PCO2
acute disturbance
less time for compensation
= more acidodic
chronic disturbance
more time for compensation
= less acidodic
how much HCO3 do we reabsorb daily
4320 mEq/day
how much H+ do we secrete daily
4390 mEq/day
what does the excess H+ bind to?
other renal bases
where is most of the bicarb reabsorbed?
PT (80%)
where is the highest pH in nephron
PT/DT
pH ~ 6.7
where is the lowest pH in nephron
IMCD (prior to urine excretion)
pH ~ 4.6 - 8
