Acidosis is a condition caused by an increase of hydrogen ions ( H+), resulting in a lower of physiological pH, in the body. The kidneys compensate respiratory acidosis _____ hydrogen ions.     By secreting more hydrogen ions     By secreting more bicarbonate ions     By reabsorbing more hydrogen ions     By reabsorbing more ammonia     By secreting more sodium ions
