what is the role of the kidney in fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance?

kidneys participate in acid-base regulation through secretion of excess hydrogen ions and reabsorbing and creating bicarbonate. Urine buffers HPO4 and NH3 bind to excess hydrogen ions and increase the ability of kidney to excrete the additional acid.
