Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prolonged stress can lead to vasoconstriction and ischemia, which can impair blood flow to the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract, respectively, leading to acute renal failure and stress ulcers.

Decompensated acidosis usually occurs in severe metabolic or respiratory dysfunction and is not a direct consequence of stress alone.
