Discuss the compensation for metabolic alkalosis
What will be an ideal response?
Compensation for metabolic alkalosis is both respiratory and renal. The respiratory response to a decreased hydrogen ion concentration is hypoventilation. This retains carbon dioxide and increases the number of hydrogen ions in the body. The renal compensation involves the retention of hydrogen ions by the kidneys and secretion of bicarbonate ions into the urine.
