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
Ph 7.50 mmhg pco2 30 mmhg and hco3 25 meql what does this mean?
Respiratory alkalosis Respiratory alkalosis
What substance would appear in the urine in alkalosis?
The question is phrased incorrectly... it is HPO4 not HOP4. The answer is H2PO4 in the urine in alkalosis.
Distinguish between acidosis and alkalosis resulting from respiratory and metabolic factors?
If the patient's pH goes down, the patient will become acidotic. Their pH goes down when their CO2 in their blood is increased. If their pH does up, they will become alkadotic. This is caused by the direct relationship between bicarbonate (HCO3) and pH. If their bicarbonate levels rise their pH will rise also. Hope that helps.
What is the prognosis for respiratory alkalosis?
If the underlying condition that caused the respiratory alkalosis is treated and corrected, there may be no long-term effects.
What would cause metabolic alkalosis to slide into metabolic acidosis?
respiratory alkalosis would cause metabolic acidosis
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.
What is the cause of metabolic alkalosis?
The early stage of vomiting causes metabolic alkalosis
Prolonged vomiting of stomach contents will result in?
metabolic alkalosis.
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
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.
A person who chronically consumes large amounts of antacids to settle an upset stomach may risk?
Metabolic alkalosis.
Is alkalosis dangerous?
Yes. It can cause electrolyte disbalances and death. It will also suppres the breathing (metabolic alcalosis only).
A patient is breathing slowly and blood pH analysis indicates an abnormally high value what is the likely diagnosis?
metabolic alkalosis
What will not alter the pH balance severe vomiting prolonged diarrhea severe headache hyperventilation?
While severe headaches may signal something more serious, the symptom will not alter pH. Severe vomiting can lead to metabolic alkalosis, prolonged diarrhea can lead to metabolic acidosis, and hyperventilation can lead to respiratory alkalosis.
How does matabolic alkalosis acidosis and heartburn affect aquilibrium in the body?
Metabolic alkalosis can result when a patient consumes too many antacids due to heartburn. This neutralizes too much of the stomach acid, and leads to an alkalotic state.
