In summary, the kidney possesses numerous mechanisms that help to prevent metabolic
alkalosis. Maintenance of metabolic alkalosis for any length of time means that renal …

Metabolic alkalosis is a primary pathophysiologic event characterized by the gain of
bicarbonate or the loss of nonvolatile acid from extracellular fluid. The kidney preserves …

Metabolic alkalosis is common—half of all acid-base disorders as described in one study
(1). This observation should not be surprising since vomiting, the use of chloruretic diuretics …

The factors controlling renal bicarbonate reabsorption and acid excretion under normal
conditions and in the presence of metabolic acidosis and alkalosis are reviewed. The …

Metabolic alkalosis is a very commonly encountered acid-base disorder that may be
generated by a variety of exogenous and/or endogenous, pathophysiologic mechanisms …

Metabolic alkalosis is a unique acid-base disorder because it can be induced and sustained
by functional alterations in renal ion transport. This review summarizes more than 50 years …

Metabolic alkalosis is an increase in blood pH to> 7.45 due to a primary increase in serum
bicarbonate (HCO 3−). Metabolic alkalosis results from alkali accumulation or acid loss, and …

Alkalosis is most unusual in patients with advanced renal failure. When patients are also
hyponatraemic, hypochloraemic and hypokalaemic, management can be a considerable …
