Objectives
General Objectives
- Describe how the body deals with an acid load with reference to: Buffer systems (bicarbonate, hemoglobin); Lungs (alveolar ventilation); Kidneys (net acid excretion).
- Describe the kidney's role in acid base balance with reference to: Reclamation by the kidney of filtered bicarbonate and acid excretion via the glutamine-ammonium system
- Describe the relationship between pH and hydrogen ion concentration.
- Employ an approach to metabolic acidosis including using the anion gap to solve clinical problems.
