A member asked:
Can excessive vomiting cause sodium, potassium,chloride imbalance in extra cellular fluid and intra cellular fluid..which can make blood high alkaline..but still electrolytes blood test show all in normal range?can imbalance happen only in ecf &icf?

Development of metabolic alkalosis following excessive vomiting is mainly due to excessive loss of hydrogen iron (stomach acid). Potassium loss worsens metabolic acidosis. This acid-base imbalance is noticeable in ECF.
