The increased excretions of H+, it also increase reabsorption of HCO3. If compensation is complete, pH will be within normal range but PcO2 will be high. While respiratory alkalosis compensatory mechanism is the renal. The decreased excretion of H+ decreased reabsorption of HCO3. If compensation is complete, pH will be within the normal range but PCO2 will be low. For metabolic acidosis compensatory mechanisms is the respiratory, which when the increases loss of CO2 it causes hyperventilation, and if compensation is complete the pH will be within normal range but HCO3 will be low. Moreover, for metabolic alkalosis, the compensatory mechanism is also respiratory but this time it is hypoventilation, which slows loss of CO2. If the compensation is complete, the pH will be within normal range but HCO3 it will be
