Abstract
Metabolic alkalosis is common—half of all acid-base disorders at one medical center—and severe cases are associated with substantial mortality. To understand the pathophysiology of the various types of metabolic alkalosis, one must appreciate how the specialized nephron segments process bicarbonate, chloride, and fluid.Keywords
