Why is there an increase in bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) during a chronic respiratory acidosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidneys compensate: Your body tries to buffer the increased carbon dioxide from chronic respiratory acidosis by increasing the bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) absorption from the kidneys to keep the body's pH near 7.4.
