Renal compensation
text:
Renal 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. Kidneys maintain the acid-base balance through two mechanisms: (1) the secretion of H+ ions into the urine (from the blood) and (2) the reabsorption of bicarbonate HCO−3 (i.e., bicarbonate moves from urine back into the blood). The regulation of H+ ions and bicarbonate HCO−3 is determined by the concentration of the two
