Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alkalosis, a condition characterized by the body fluids having too much base (alkali), typically does not lead to disorientation and coma directly. These symptoms are more commonly associated with severe cases of acidosis or other neurological conditions, rather than alkalosis. Symptoms like "pins and needles" sensations, muscle twitches and spasms, and extreme nervousness are more characteristic of alkalosis, often related to the resultant electrolyte imbalances and increased nervous system excitability.
