Metabolic acidosis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
In mild acidosis, the underlying disease’s symptoms may obscure any direct clinical evidence. Metabolic acidosis typically begins with headache and lethargy, progressing to drowsiness, central nervous system depression, Kussmaul’s respirations (as the lungs attempt to compensate by “blowing off” carbon dioxide), stupor and, if the condition is severe and goes untreated, coma and death. Associated GI distress usually produces anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and may lead to dehydration. Underlying diabetes mellitus may cause fruity breath from catabolism of fats and excretion of accumulated acetone through the lungs.

Metabolic alkalosis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Clinical features of metabolic alkalosis result from the body’s attempt to correct the acid-base imbalance, primarily through hypoventilation. Other manifestations include irritability, picking at bedclothes (carphology), twitching, confusion, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea (which aggravates alkalosis). Cardiovascular abnormalities (such as atrial tachycardia) and respiratory disturbances (such as cyanosis and apnea) also occur. In the alkalotic patient, diminished peripheral blood flow during repeated blood pressure checks may provoke carpopedal spasm in the hand — a possible sign of impending tetany (Trousseau’s sign). Uncorrected metabolic alkalosis may progress to seizures and coma.

Metabolic syndrome:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Assessment commonly reveals a history of hypertension, abdominal obesity, sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, and a family history of metabolic syndrome. Physical findings include abdominal obesity (evidenced by a waist of more than 40" [101.6 cm] in men and 35"[88.9 cm] in women), blood pressure 130/85 mm Hg or higher, and a fasting blood glucose level that’s 100 mg/dl or higher. The patient may feel tired, especially after eating, and may have difficulty losing weight. If left untreated, such complications as coronary artery disease, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and premature death may develop.
