Hi I was looking through to see if there was one main area to post corrections in case someone mentioned it already..but here are the minor ones in acid bad disorders:

pg273- Posthypocapnea causes non gap metabolic acidosis and posthypercapnea causes metabolic alkalosis due to  serum bicarb decrease and increase by renal compensation during prolonged resp alkalosis and acidosis respectively. This happens usually over a period of  few days after correction of hypo/hypercapnea before kidneys go back to the normal reabsorption.

Pg 276- decrease in bicarb could be 2 per 10 CO2 decrease or 5 per 10 of CO2 decrease….(study guide says increase)
