A patient’s arterial blood gas results are as follows:  pCO2 = 75 mm Hg (35-45 mm Hg) HCO3- = 26 mmol/L (22-26 mmol/L) Assuming the [H2CO3] (in mmol/L) = (pCO2 value) X (0.03), calculate the pH of this patient’s blood using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation.  The pKa for H2CO3 = 6.1 Is this patient experiencing acidosis or alkalosis?  (10.1; 10.2)
