Whta is metabolic alkalosis?
Metabolic alkalosis is a pH imbalance in which the body has accumulated too much of an alkaline substance, such as bicarbonate, and does not have enough acid to effectively neutralize the effects of the alkali.
Does alcohol cause acidosis or alkalosis?
alkalosis
How can hypokalemia affect your life?
Hypokalemia or low potassium can cause lethal heart rhythms. general tiredness , muscle twitching and damage.
How is digoxin associated with hypokalemia?
Usually, hyperkalemia is associated with usage of digoxin. This is due to the blocking action of digoxin on the Na/K ase which results in accumulation of extracellular K+.Most of the times, patients presenting with heart problems are already on diuretics before they are prescribed with digoxin. Diuretics cause hypokalemia as they result in excessive excretion of K+ from the body. Hypokalemia in turn causes digoxin toxicity. Digoxin toxicity does not cause hypokalemia, but hypokalemia can worsen digoxin toxicity.

What would cause metabolic alkalosis to slide into metabolic acidosis?
respiratory alkalosis would cause metabolic acidosis
What is the cause of metabolic alkalosis?
The early stage of vomiting causes metabolic alkalosis
What is the prognosis for patients with metabolic alkalosis?
If metabolic alkalosis is recognized and treated promptly, the patient may have no long-term complications; however, the underlying condition that caused the alkalosis needs to be corrected or managed.
Is alkalosis dangerous?
Yes. It can cause electrolyte disbalances and death. It will also suppres the breathing (metabolic alcalosis only).

How is metabolic alkalosis diagnosed?
Metabolic alkalosis may be suspected based on symptoms, but often may not be noticeable. The condition is usually confirmed by laboratory tests on blood and urine samples. Blood pH above 7.45 confirms the condition.
What are the lab values you would see in someone with metabolic acidosis and alkalosis?
inbalance in ABG's
Why do Beta agonist cause hypokalemia?
Beta 2 adrenergic agonists cause increased potassium entry into cells, which can lead to hypokalemia
In metabolic alkalosis does the PO2 decreases?
The PO2 does decrease in metabolic acidosis, Similarly, there is a decrease in the pH and HCO3 levels. Metabolic acidosis is a condition where the body is producing too much acid.
What is the effect on the heart function in the case of hypokalemia and hyperkalemia?
Hypokalemia and hyperkalmia both can have effects on the heart function. Hypokalemia and hyperkalemia can cause cardiac arriythmias.
