Metabolic Alkalosis

Description:

Metabolic alkalosis is a medical condition characterized by an elevated pH level in the blood due to an excess of bicarbonate ions and a decrease in the hydrogen ion concentration. It typically occurs when the body loses too much acid or gains too much base, disturbing the acid-base balance.

Sample Sentences:

  1. The patient's metabolic alkalosis was a result of prolonged vomiting, leading to excessive loss of stomach acid.
  2. Metabolic alkalosis can cause symptoms such as muscle twitching, confusion, and tingling sensations.
  3. Treating metabolic alkalosis often involves identifying and addressing the underlying cause, such as diuretic use or excessive vomiting.
