Alkalemia
Definition
The physiological or pathological state characterized by an increase in blood alkalinity beyond normal limits, resulting in an arterial pH value greater than 7.45. This structural acid-base imbalance can be caused by the accumulation of bases or the excessive loss of acids from the body, being closely correlated with severe metabolic or respiratory disorders.
