Question 34

Multiple Choice

In the context of the relationship among fluid,electrolyte,and acid-base imbalances,which of the following is true of hypovolemia?


A) Hypovolemia can lead to alkalosis because Na+ reabsorption, which is coupled to H+ secretion in the renal tubule, leads to an increase in the pH of the extracellular fluid.
B) Hypovolemia can lead to acidosis because Na+ reabsorption is coupled to H+ secretion in the renal tubule, which lowers the pH of the extracellular fluid.
C) Hypovolemia can lead to alkalosis because decreased Na+ reabsorption leads to decreased H+ secretion into the renal tubules, which results in a higher concentration of H+ retained in the extracellular fluid.
D) None of these is correct.
