Question

When co2 levels are high the kidneys reabsorb this to compensate?

Answer 1

Answer:by decreasing bicarbonate excretion and increasing acid excretion

Explanation:

The condition in which Carbondioxide, CO2 levels are high in the blood, the phenomenon is known as acidosis which is the opposite of alkalosis which is the decrease in Carbondioxide,CO2 level in the blood. In human blood, there is acid and there is base as well. Both acid and base present in human beings' blood must be balanced for proper functioning of the body system.

There are ways the organs in our bodies respond to deviations Which is the reason behind the kidney compensate by decreasing bicarbonate excretion and increasing acid excretion.

Answer 2

Elevated carbon dioxide mean too much acid in the blood.  Increase acid excretion (intercalated cells secrete H+ into tubules) and decrease bicarbonate excretion. They also make new bicarbonate to add to the plasma.
