Alkalosis refers to a condition reducing hydrogen ion concentration of arterial blood plasma (alkalemia). In contrast to acidosis (serum pH 7.35 or lower), alkalosis occurs when the serum pH is higher than normal (7.45 or higher). Alkalosis is usually divided into the categories of respiratory alkalosis and metabolic alkalosis. ==Causes== The main...

Alkalosis: A dangerous decrease in the normal acidity of the blood. There is too much base in the blood and body. This is a distinctly abnormal condition. It results from the accumulation of base or from the depletion of acid. The pH of the alkalotic body is above normal. Alkalosis can be caused by high altitudes, hyperventilation, and excessive vo...

Alkalosis is a condition in which a person's body fluids become too alkaline. The body adjusts to mild alkalosis but severe alkalosis can result in muscular weakness, convulsions, coma, and even death. Most cases of alkalosis arise from disorders or drugs that cause the body to lose too much acid, thus upsetting the normal balance of acid and alkal...
