    1. Takes several days to complete

    2. In acidosis net acid excretion is increased:

      1. increased secretion of H+

      2. entire filtered load of bicarb is reabsorbed

      3. production and excretion of NH4

    3. In alkalosis net acid excretion is decreased

      1. decreased secretion of H+

      2. decreased reabsorption of bicarb
