Regulation of renal bicarbonate reabsorption by extracellular volume

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The ability of the kidney to reabsorb bicarbonate is held to be a function of plasma CO2 tension, carbonic anhydrase activity, and potassium stores. The effects of alterations of extracellular volume on bicarbonate reabsorption were studied in dogs whose arterial Pco2 was kept constant at 40 mm Hg (range 35-45 mm Hg).
