Causes Of Metabolic Alkalosis
		All diuretic therapies except for the carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. These diuretics cause a tremendous increase in the concentration of Na+ ions brought into the distal and collecting tubules. This lead to rapid reabsorption of these sodium ions and creates an enhance hydrogen ion secretion due to the Na+-H+ exchange mechanism. Na+ get reabsorbed and H+ get suddenly excreted.*
		Excessive ingestion of alkaline drugs (Rx of gastritis and peptic ulcers)*
		Excessive vomiting removes a abnormally high concentration of both H+ and CI. The loss of these two acids creates the imbalance.*
		Excessive secretion of Aldosterone by the adrenal cortex. This creates abnormally high reabsorption of Na+, which due to the Na+-H+ exchange can cause a mass exodus of H+.*
