Metabolic alkalosis in the elderly
Metabolic alkalosis (metabasalosis) is caused by a decrease in non-volatile acids or an increase in alkali in the extracellular fluid. Its main characteristics are an increase in plasma HCO3- concentration and a compensatory increase in PaCO2. It can exist alone or be mixed with respiratory acidosis. Its main compensatory mechanism is respiratory CO2 retention and renal excretion of bicarbonate and retention of H+.
