Chloride non-responsive metabolic alkalosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/432895632

This is a chronic non-responsive, metabolic condition in which the pH of tissue is elevated beyond the normal range ( 7.35-7.45 ). This is the result of decreased hydrogen ion concentration, leading to increased bicarbonate, or alternatively a direct result of increased bicarbonate concentrations.
