Approach to Metabolic Acidosis

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
pH<7.35
And
[HCO3-]<24 meq/L
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Metabolic acidosis
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Calculate the anion gap (AG)

Na+ - Cl- - HCO3-
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Low AG
AG<8
 
 
 
 
 
Normal AG
8<AG<16

Check albumin

Correct the AG if albumin is low
For every decrease of 1 g/dl of albumin, AG is decreased by 2.5 meg/L
 
Check Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, immunoglobulins

High levels of these unmeasured cations decrease the AG
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Check urine AG
