  2. Metabolic alkalosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_alkalosis

    Metabolic alkalosis is an acid-base disorder in which the pH of tissue is elevated beyond the normal range (7.35–7.45). This is the result of decreased hydrogen ion concentration, leading to increased bicarbonate ( HCO − 3 ), or alternatively a direct result of increased bicarbonate concentrations.

  3. Apparent mineralocorticoid excess syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_mineralocorticoid...

    Common symptoms include hypertension, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, and low plasma renin activity. [1] DOC excess syndrome is an excessive secretion of 21-hydroxyprogesterone also called 11-Deoxycorticosterone from adrenal glands and may cause mineralocorticoid hypertension. [4] [5] [6]

  4. Alkalosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkalosis

    Alkalosis is the result of a process reducing hydrogen ion concentration of arterial blood plasma (alkalemia).In contrast to acidemia (serum pH 7.35 or lower), alkalemia occurs when the serum pH is higher than normal (7.45 or higher).

  5. Milk-alkali syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk-alkali_syndrome

    Hypovolemia then leads to metabolic alkalosis (increase in blood pH) by stimulating bicarbonate reabsorption in order to maintain extracellular volume. [5] [10] In summary, the symptoms of alkalosis is the net result of over-consumption of absorbable alkali, hypercalcemia-induced hypovolemia, and impaired glomerular filtration rate. [5]

  6. Bartter syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartter_syndrome

    The clinical findings characteristic of Bartter syndrome is hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, and normal to low blood pressure. These findings may also be caused by other conditions, which may cause confusion. When diagnosing a Bartter's syndrome, the following conditions must be ruled out as possible causes of the symptomatology: [citation needed]

  7. Hyperchloremic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperchloremic_acidosis

    In general, the cause of a hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis is a loss of base, either a gastrointestinal loss or a renal loss [citation needed]. Gastrointestinal loss of bicarbonate (HCO − 3) [citation needed] Severe diarrhea (vomiting will tend to cause hypochloraemic alkalosis) Pancreatic fistula with loss of bicarbonate rich pancreatic fluid

    Metabolic alkalosis: Too much baking soda may put you at risk for metabolic alkalosis, which means the pH of your blood is too high or more alkaline, Prest notes. Alkalosis can reduce blood flow ...

  9. Hyperaldosteronism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperaldosteronism

    Secondary hyperaldosteronism (also hyperreninism, or hyperreninemic hyperaldosteronism) is due to overactivity of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS).. The causes of secondary hyperaldosteronism are accessory renal veins, fibromuscular dysplasia, reninoma, renal tubular acidosis, nutcracker syndrome, ectopic tumors, massive ascites, left ventricular failure, and cor pulmonale.
