Essential Biochemistry - Acid Base Balance (Section 1 - No. 29)
In compensated metabolic acidosis, plasma
HCO3-/H2CO3 ratio is increased
Total CO2 content is increased
HCO3- is decreased
Some of the above
Forklaring
In compensated metabolic acidosis, the body attempts to correct the acid-base imbalance. This may involve changes in the HCO3-/H2CO3 ratio and/or total CO2 content.
