Overview

Metabolic Alkalosis has the highest incidence and prevalence rate among the other acid base disorder in hospitalized patient. Limited data are found on its predilection to race, age, gender, region.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of metabolic alkalosis is highest among all other acid based disorders. The incidence of metabolic alkalosis is approximately 51% in hospitalized patient.[1]

Prevalence

  • Metabolic Alkalosis is shown to occur in 70% of 13430 cases in a study.[2]

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate


Age

  • Patients of all age groups may develop Metabolic Alkalosis.

Race

  • There is no racial predilection to Metabolic alkalosis.

Gender

  • Metabolic Alkalosis affects men and women equally.

Region

  • There is no regional predilection for Metabolic Alkalosis.

Developed Countries

  • There is no sufficient data specifically mentioning population from developed countries.

Developing Countries

  • There is no sufficient data specifically mentioning population from developing countries.
