- D40+ 0.7 [HCO3-]
22Diarrhea can cause hyperchloremia because
- AECF, Na+ and K+ are lost to a greater degree than chloride is lost, therefore the same amount of chloride in a smaller volume results in hyperchloremia
- BThe loss of Na+ and H+ results in more reabsorption of Cl- in the kidney
- CHCl is titrated with HCO3- and produces H2CO3 and Cl- that results in hyperchloremia
23Increased anion gap acidosis occurs when an exogenous acid is added to the system accompanied by an anion that is not chloride.
- ATrue
- BFalse
24metabolic acidosis is caused by
- Aan increase in pH because there has been a decrease in [HCO3-]

- Can decrease in pH because there has been a decrease in [HCO3-]
- Dan decrease in pH because there has been a increase in [HCO3-]
