close CO2 is the respiratory component.
HCO3- is the metabolic component.

Partial compensation means that the pH is still abnormal.
Full compensation means that the pH is back to normal.
close The CO2 is normal, so it is providing no compensation here.
close The pH is high (alkalotic), so the primary problem must be an alkalosis of some sort.
10.1 mEq/L
normal: (-2) - 2 mEq/L close
normal: (-2) - 2 mEq/L close
This BE is high (alkalotic). The pH and BE are both alkalotic, so the BE is a primary cause.
33 mEq/L
normal: 22-26 mEq/L close
normal: 22-26 mEq/L close
This HCO3- is high (alkalotic). The pH and HCO3- are both alkalotic, so the HCO3- is a primary cause.
39 mmHg
normal: 35-45 mmHg close
normal: 35-45 mmHg close
This CO2 is normal. The CO2 is not providing any compensation against the high HCO3-.
39 mmHg = 5.2 kPa
7.55
normal: 7.35-7.45 close
normal: 7.35-7.45 close
This pH is high (alkalotic). The other alkalotic piece (HCO3- and/or CO2) is the primary cause.
