ALKALOSIS | respiratory and metabolic alkalosis

ALKALOSIS 

 Alkalosis is increase in blood alkalinity caused by an overabundance of bicarbonate in the blood or a decrease of acid from the blood (metabolic alkalosis), or by a low level of carbon dioxide in the blood that is because of fast or deep breathing (respiratory alkalosis).

 RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS

•  It is caused by hyperventilation which results in excessive loss of co2.

During respiratory alkalosis , arterial blood have

• high level of PH
• Bicarbonate ions level decreases
• Decrease of partial pressure of co2 in blood.

METABOLIC RESPIRATION

It is caused by increase HCO3- concentration in blood and loss of H+ ions. Arterial blood in metabolic alkalosis as

• Increase in PH
• Increase in bicarbonate ion
• Increase in pCO2
