Describe how the kidney handles acid or base excess using ammonia, carbonic anhydrase, the anion exchanger (HCO3/Cl), the H+ ATPase and the Na+/H+ and K/H+ exchanger
Proximal tubule: 70-80% of HCO3 recycling – HCO3 reabsorption – secondary active transport
Distal tubule: 20-30% of HCO3 recycling – H+ secretion
Respiratory alkalosis– low PCO2 causes high pH which causes low HCO3 reabsorption and low H + secretion – causing compensation
- Respiratory acidosis – high PCO2 causes low PH and compensate by high HCO3 reabsorbing and high H+ secretion
- Metabolic acidosis – if H+ high and HCO3 low causes kidney to compensate by increasing H+ secretion and increasing HCO3 absorption
- Metabolic alkalosis – if H+ low and HCO3 high causes kidney to compensate by decreasing H+ secretion and decreasing HCO3 reabsorption
Proximal tubule: 70-80% of HCO3 recycling – HCO3 reabsorption – secondary active transport
Distal tubule: 20-30% of HCO3 recycling – H+ secretion
