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.
