Overview

The mainstay of treatment for metabolic alkalosis is medical therapy. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either pyloric stenosis), Zollinger-ellison syndrome,Villous adenoma, Conn syndrome or adrenL adenoma/ hyperplasia /carcinoma, Reno vascular hypertension, juxtaglomerular cell(renin producing) tumor, renal cell carcinoma, hemangiopericytoma, nephroblastoma.

Indications

• The mainstay of treatment for metabolic alkalosis is medical therapy. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:
  • pyloric stenosis)
  • Zollinger-ellison syndrome
  • Villous adenoma
  • Conn syndrome oradrenal adenoma/hyperplasia/carcinoma
  • Reno vascular hypertension
  • juxtaglomerular cell(renin producing) tumor
  • renal cell carcinoma
  • hemangiopericytoma
  • nephroblastoma

Surgery

• The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of above malignancy at diagnosis.
