Severe Respiratory Alkalosis in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Rare Presentation

Abstract: Respiratory alkalosis is a rare but severe complication of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). In ischemic stroke, respiratory alkalosis results from hyperventilation due to the effect of stroke on the respiratory center. We report a case of a young male who presented with acute encephalopathy. Work-up revealed ischemic infarcts in the bilateral cerebellar and left posterior cerebral artery territory. Arterial blood gas (ABG) showed severe respiratory alkalosis with a pH of 7.72. Alkalosis resolved with mechanical ve… Show more

“…In secondary hyperparathyroidism, the parathyroid glands become overactive in an attempt to maintain normal calcium levels in the blood. The conditions that can lead to secondary hyperparathyroidism include chronic kidney disease, vitamin D deficiency, and malabsorption disorders, and pseudohyperparathyroid disease (Hoshi et al, 2008;Muppidi et al, 2024) Brown's tumor is characterized by elevated levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secreted by the parathyroid glands, leads to hypercalcemia. The parathyroid glands function to regulate serum calcium levels.…”

“…6 CRA is characterized by a primary decrease in PCO 2 in response to sustained hyperventilation. 7,8 In CRA, the renal alkalization effect of the depressed PCO 2 results in a decrement of serum bicarbonate, which can be predictable, depending on whether the duration of hyperventilation, is acute (<48 h) or chronic (>48 h). As a rule, for each 10 mm Hg drop in the PCO 2 below 40 mm Hg, the plasma bicarbonate concentration decreases by 4-5 mEq/L.…”
