The nurse determines that the client experiencing Metabolic Alkalosis imbalance.


When digestive difficulties throw off the blood's acid-base equilibrium, metabolic alkalosis results. Additionally, it might be brought on by illnesses of the heart, liver, or kidneys. Typically, metabolic alkalosis poses a minimal danger to life. Once it has been treated, it has no aftereffects on your health.

The use of diuretics and external loss of gastric secretions are the two most frequent causes of metabolic alkalosis.

The pH may be high or close to normal in metabolic alkalosis, which is primarily characterized by an increase in bicarbonate (HCO3) with or without a compensatory increase in carbon dioxide partial pressure (Pco2). Prolonged vomiting, hypovolemia, the use of diuretics, and hypokalemia are common reasons.
