Alkalosis

A disturbance of the acid-base balance of the body in which the alkalinity of the body's tissues and fluids is increased. This may be caused by hyperventilation, high altitudes, overuse of antacids and excessive vomiting and may result in symptoms such as dehydration, irritability, apathy and delirium.

See also Acidosis.
