Discussion Uncomplicated metabolic alkalosis is characterized by a primary increase in
serum total carbon dioxide levels (to> 30 mmol/L), alkaline arterial blood pH (> 7.42), and …

The regulation of the acid-base balance and pH is critical for the organism. The most
important buffer system is CO 2/HCO 3-. The kidney controls systemic bicarbonate and …
