Hyperuricaemia and metabolic alkalosis are also risks. Metabolic disturbance Hyperglycaemia and increased insulin resistance are associated with thiazide diuretic use. .
Early diagnosis and treatment reduces morbidity and particularly the effects of electrolyte disturbance (hypochloraemic metabolic alkalosis and dehydration). Test feeding is used in diagno...
It may also induce a hypokalaemic metabolic alkalosis which can lessen respiratory drive through reducing the hypercapnic stimulus to breathe.
Arterial blood gases (capillary gases or venous blood gases are alternatives in children): some degree of acid-base disturbance is present in most cases: Adults and older children over the age of...
