Can throwing up too much in short time cause acid-base disorders?alkalosis?high blood ph.7.49 low anion gap 18.4 ..which if not detected and treated early can make you feel imbalanced &dehydrated..which can also increase uric acid levels?

If you vomit heavily in a short time, you may develop metabolic alkalosis and volume contraction or dehydrated (hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis). If the dehydration is severely enough, renal function may be acutely impaired then both serum creatinine and uric acid can be higher.
