Metabolic alkalosis is a condition that occurs as a result of decreased hydrogen ion concentration or increased bicarbonate ion concentration not as a result of primary respiratory issues. The hydrogen ion is acidic and the bicarbonate ion is basic.
It was founded in 1891 by Anthony J. Drexel, a noted financier and philanthropist. As of 2015, more than 26,000 students are enrolled in over 70 undergraduate programs and more than 100 master's, doctoral, and professional programs at the university.
