Kidneys & Lungs
The body's major extracellular buffer system is the bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffer system, which is assessed when arterial blood gases are measured
Question:
What is the kidney's role in regulating the pH?
Answer:
The kidneys regulate the bicarbonate level in the ECF; they can regenerate bicarbonate ions as well as reabsorb them from the renal tubular cells. In respiratory acidosis and most cases of metabolic acidosis, the kidneys excrete hydrogen ions and conserve bicarbonate ions to help restore balance. In respiratory and metabolic alkalosis, the kidneys retain hydrogen ions and excrete bicarbonate ions to help restore balance
