Hypoproteinemic alkalosis

The American Journal of Medicine, 1986
Hypoproteinemia by itself causes a nonrespiratory ("metabolic") alkalosis. On the average, a decrease in plasma albumin concentration of 1 g/dl produces an increase in "standard" bicarbonate of 3.4 mM/liter, and an apparent base excess of +3.7 meq/liter; it also reduces the value of the normal anion gap by about 3 meq/liter.

Metabolic Alkalosis

Advances in Kidney Disease and Health
Metabolic alkalosis is one of the four cardinal acid-base disorders and perhaps the least well understood by students. Taking a mechanistic approach to etiologies and management can be very helpful in such cases. Particularly, one should focus on the factors that generate the alkalosis (source of fluid loss and composition, less commonly alkali ...

Transplacental metabolic alkalosis

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 2007
Abstract:  We present a newborn with hypochloraemic metabolic alkalosis due to severe metabolic alkalosis of his mother. Hypoventilation as a leading symptom resolved quickly with treatment but may be life‐threatening if not detected. In this case, the mother had a probable eating disorder.
