What is respiratory alkalosis ?

Dear student.

Respiratory alkalosis is a condition where there occurs imbalance in the level of CO2 and O2  inside our body. This leads to a disturbance in the acid-base balance. Symptoms include  elevated arterial pH, hyperventilation etc. It may occur due to increased rate of respiration, â€‹decrease in net renal acid excretion etc.

Regards.
