What Wikipedia says

Metabolic alkalosis is an acid-base disorder 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 (HCO3−), or alternatively a direct result of increased bicarbonate concentrations.
