In the fire service, we enjoy using abbreviations and acronyms for things. Some fire service personnel tend to go a bit overboard when talking, by using too much alphabet soup.. I'm not providing this information to encourage you to use more abbreviations in your everyday life.
alkalosis (alkÉlÅÂ´sis), n a disturbance of acid-base balance and water balance, characterized by an excess of alkali or a deficiency of acids. alkalosis, compensated, n a condition in which the blood bicarbonate is usually higher than normal but compensatory mechanisms have kept the pH level within normal range.
The cause of alkalosis is very similar to acidosis, it can happen if you have severe diarrhea, which gives a loss of body fluid, decreasing the carbonic acid and even the carbon dioxide in the body.he cause of alkalosis is very similar to acidosis, it can happen if you have severe diarrhea, which gives a loss of body fluid, decreasing the carbonic acid and even the carbon dioxide in the body.
