Question
Chapter 25, Problem 42P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To determine the effect of the less secretion of acids in urine due to the failure of kidneys on the pH of the blood.
Concept Introduction:
Kidneys help in the regulation of acids in the body along with the elimination of the wastes from the body. When the kidneys are damaged, there is a waste buildup in the body and causes various health problems. The amount of acid is also not regulated in the case of kidney failure.
