The purpose of these studies was to clarify the basis of the relationship between the urine bicarbonate concentration and the urine minus blood PCO2 difference in alkaline urine (U-B PCO2) and hence shed light on factors that influence hydrogen ion secretion in the collecting duct in vivo. The U-B PCO2 was used to monitor this latter parameter. In dogs with a normal extracellular fluid (ECF) volume, the U-B PCO2 was not primarily influenced by the urine bicarbonate concentration but rather it was related to the rate of sodium excretion. The U-B PCO2 could be abolished by amiloride when the urine bicarbonate concentration was less than 60 mm. At higher urine bicarbonate concentrations, there was a linear correlation between the U-B PCO2 and the urine bicarbonate concentration in normovolemic dogs given amiloride, but the absolute values were lower than they were in normovolemic animals not treated with amiloride. In the dogs with an expanded ECF volume, the U-B PCO2 was lower than it was in the normovolemic animals, and the U-B PCO2 was nor directly related to the urine bicarbonate concentration and not influenced by the rate of sodium excretion. Amiloride had little influence on the U-B PCO2 under these conditions. These results are interpreted to suggest that the magnitude of collecting duct hydrogen ion secretion is determined primarily by the electrical gradient generated by sodium reabsorption in normovolemic dogs and by the intracellular and lumenal hydrogen ion concentrations when the ECF volume is expanded or when active sodium reabsorption is inhibited by amiloride.
