Acidocis => Hyperkalemia
Acute response: Excrete H => increase cation in filtrate
=> decrease the other cations excretion such as Potassium
Chronic response: Hyperkalemia due to acidocis causes aldosterone release therefore there is an increase of k excretion by intercalated cells
Alkalocis => Hypokalemia
Acute response: excrete more bicarbonate (anion), cation excretion increases such as K
Chronic: continue bicarbonate excretion, and continue excretion of K (by this time aldosterone level may drop so excretion is not as much)
