Alkalosis caused by a malfunction of the body\u2019s metabolism.<\/p>\n
Acid-base imbalance associated with vomiting and gastric drainage, prolonged diuretic therapy, Cushing\u2019s syndrome, or excessive ingestion of bicarbonate and characterized by slow and shallow respiration, dizziness, paresthesia, confusion, agitation, seizures, and coma.<\/p>\n
Any process in which plasma bicarbonate is increased. This is usually the result of increased loss of acid from the stomach or kidney, potassium depletion accompanying diuretic therapy, excessive alkali intake, or severe adrenal gland hyperactivity.<\/p>\n
Elevated alkalinity within the blood and bodily tissues originates from chemical reactions occurring in the body. One potential reason is the depletion of stomach acids due to persistent vomiting. Another factor leading to metabolic alkalosis is the excessive intake of alkaline substances, like sodium bicarbonate present in antacid medications.<\/p>\n
