A maintenance hemodialysis patient developed metabolic alkalosis in the absence of vomiting or nasogastric suction. The cause of the metabolic alkalosis was ingestion of an exogenous alkali in the form of Bromoseltzer. The metabolic alkalosis improved with hemodialysis using a low-bicarbonate bath.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
