Conditions prone to causing metabolic alkalosis may include renal disorders or certain primary diseases, among others. Early detection and prompt treatment are generally recommended for such conditions, as many cases involve chronic disease. Therefore, given your current situation, it is essential to visit the endocrinology department of a hospital as soon as possible for diagnosis and identification of the underlying cause, so that targeted treatment can be initiated—and this warrants your full attention.
