... HCO3 reabsorption ( Table 19-6 ) . Normal subjects who are euvo- lemic reabsorb essentially all the filtered HCO3 until the HCO3 concentration in the plasma and , therefore , in the glomerular filtrate exceeds 26 to 28 meq / L ( see ...
... plasma HCO3 concentration below 10 meq / L : HCO3 deficit ( meq ) ≈ 0.7 x lean body weight ( kg ) x ( 10 – plasma [ HCO3 ] ) This formula applies only when the plasma HCO3 concentration is very low and the cell and bone buffers are ...
