    Secondary responses in acid-base disorders help regulate pH levels in the blood. When the primary disorder causes pH to deviate from normal, compensatory responses in the kidneys and lungs act to return pH to its normal range by retaining or excreting bicarbonate and altering breathing to blow off or retain carbon dioxide. These compensatory responses can be assessed by measuring standard base excess or bicarbonate levels in the blood.
