Renal compensationRenal compensation is a mechanism by which the kidneys can regulate the plasma pH. It is slower than respiratory compensation, but has a greater ability to restore normal values. Additional recommended knowledgeIn respiratory acidosis, the kidney produces and excretes ammonium (NH4+) and monophosphate, generating bicarbonate in the process while clearing acid.[1] In respiratory alkalosis, less HCO3- is reabsorbed, thus lowering the pH.[2] References |
