An increase in blood pH accelerates the renal tubule excretion of both hydrogen and ammonia.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in blood pH (alkalosis) actually reduces the renal tubule excretion of hydrogen ions because the body will try to retain hydrogen ions to lower the pH back to normal. Ammonia excretion is also modulated according to the body's acid-base status, but the primary mechanism for pH regulation involves hydrogen ion handling.
