Which of the Following is Not a Renal Response to Acidosis

Question

Which of the following is not a renal response to acidosis?
A) secretion of H+
B) increase tubule buffer activity
C) reabsorption of NaHCO3
D) release of HCl into peritubular capillary fluid
E) removal of CO2

Accepted Answer

The release of HCl into peritubular capillary fluid is not a renal response to acidosis. It is not a mechanism to buffer hydrogen ions or to increase bicarbonate levels. It does not aid in excretion or removal of acid from the body. Therefore, option D is the correct option.
