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 ...
This is a shortened version of the fourth chapter of the ICD-9: Diseases of the Blood and Blood-forming Organs. It covers ICD codes 280 to 289. The full chapter can be found on pages 167 to 175 of Volume 1, which contains all (sub)categories of the ICD-9. Volume 2 is an alphabetical index of Volume 1.
Compensation occurs if respiratory acidosis is present, and a chronic phase is entered with partial buffering of the acidosis through renal bicarbonate retention. [ citation needed ] However, in cases where chronic illnesses that compromise pulmonary function persist, such as late-stage emphysema and certain types of muscular dystrophy ...
Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes N00-N19, N20.0 within Chapter XIV: Diseases of the genitourinary system should be included in this category. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Kidney diseases .
In renal compensation, plasma bicarbonate rises 3.5 mEq/L for each increase of 10 mm Hg in PaCO 2. The expected change in serum bicarbonate concentration in respiratory acidosis can be estimated as follows: [citation needed] Acute respiratory acidosis: HCO 3 − increases 1 mEq/L for each 10 mm Hg rise in PaCO 2.
metabolic acidosis, or respiratory alkalosis with renal compensation if too low (less than −2 mEq/L) Blood pH is determined by both a metabolic component, measured by base excess, and a respiratory component, measured by PaCO 2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide). Often a disturbance in one triggers a partial compensation in the other.
Chronic metabolic acidosis has non-specific clinical symptoms but can be readily diagnosed by testing serum bicarbonate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as part of a comprehensive metabolic panel. Patients with CKD Stages G3–G5 should be routinely screened for metabolic acidosis. [9] [10]
