Metabolic acidosis	Overproduction or ingestion of fixed acid or loss of base produces an increase In arterial (H+) (acidemia).
Acidemia causes	hyperventilation
hyperventilation is the respiratory compensation for	metabolic acidosis.
. Renal correction of metabolic acidosis consists of increased excretion	excess fixed H+ as titratable acid and NH4+, and increased reabsorption of new HCO3-, which replenishes the HCO3- used in buffering the added fixed H+.
Metabolic alkalosis	. Loss of fixed H+ or gain of base produces a decrease in arterial H+ (alkalemia) results in an increase in arterial HCO3-
Alkalemia causes	hypoventilation
hypoventilation	which is the respiratory compensation for metabolic alkalosis.
Renal correction of metabolic alkalosis consists of increased excretion	of HCO3- because the filtered load of HCO3- exceeds the ability of the renal tubule to reabsorb it.
