kidneys, alkalosis, condition of excess base, alkali, body fluids, the opposite of excess acid, acidosis, many different conditions, lungs, kidneys regulate the acid/base status, decreased carbon dioxide, increased bicarbonate levels create an, excessive alkaline state, alkalosis, respiratory alkalosis, lower carbon dioxide levels, hyperventilation, increased rate of breathing, body to lose carbon dioxide, altitude, a disease that causes, reduced oxygen, in the blood triggers the individual to breathe faster, reduces carbon dioxide levels which results in respiratory alkalosis, metabolic alkalosis, an excess of bicarbonate in blood, hypochloremic alkalosis, an extreme lack, loss of chloride, prolonged vomiting, kidneys compensate, the chloride loss by conserving bicarbonate, hypokalemic alkalosis, kidneys' reaction to an extreme lack, loss of potassium, diuretic medications, compensated alkalosis is caused, the body has partially compensated, alkalosis, returning the acid/base balance to normal, though bicarbonate, carbon dioxide levels remain abnormal, confusion, progress to stupor, coma, muscle twitching, hand tremor, prolonged muscle spasms, tetany, nausea, vomiting, numbness, tingling, in the face, extremities, light-headedness, ph indicate alkalosis, acidosis, carbon dioxide, bicarbonate levels indicate the cause of alkalosis, acidosis, either respiratory, breathing-related, metabolic, kidney-related, of these tests, arterial blood gas, venous blood gas, urinalysis, litmus paper, urine dipstick tests, urine ph, chem-20, treatment of alkalosis depends on finding the specific cause, alkalosis, hyperventilation, breathing into a paper bag causes, carbon dioxide to be retained, oxygen administered, medications, chemical loss, chloride, potassium, vital signs, temperature, pulse, rate of breathing, blood pressure, monitored, most cases of alkalosis respond well to treatment, coma, arrhythmias, electrolyte imbalance, hypokalemia, a person becomes confused, unable to concentrate, person is unable to "catch breath", a person passes out, loses consciousness, experiences severe breathing difficulties, has seizures, symptoms of alkalosis occur, rapidly, progressively worsen, prevention depends on the cause, the alkalosis, individuals, healthy kidneys, lungs, not significantly experience alkalosis.
