Which of the following is a cause of metabolic alkalosis?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

[Table 5.9]. A cause of metabolic alkalosis is hyperaldosteronism; increased aldosterone levels cause increased $\mathrm{H}^{+}$secretion by the distal tubule and increased reabsorption of "new" $\mathrm{HCO}_{3}{ }^{-}$. Diarrhea causes loss of $\mathrm{HCO}_{3}{ }^{-}$from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and acetazolamide causes loss of $\mathrm{HCO}_{3}{ }^{-}$in the urine, both resulting in hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis with normal anion gap. Ingestion of ethylene glycol and salicylate poisoning leads to metabolic acidosis with increased anion gap.
