Question Answer
What do we call a condition of low arterial pH, reduced plasma HC03 concentration, and usually compensatory alveolar hyper-ventilation resulting in decreased PCO2?Metabolic Acidosis
Metabolic acidosis can be due to increased acid production, decreased acid elimination, or ?Aspirin overdose - acetylsalicylic acid poisoning (accidental or otherwise).
This is estimated by subtracting the sum of the Cl and HC03 concentrations from the plasma Na concentration.Anion Gap . [Na]-([Cl]+[HCO3])
What accounts for most of the normal anion gap of 12 ± 4 mEq/L, and why?Negatively charged plasma proteins such as albumin
Why doesn't hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis result in an increased anion gap?Because Chloride is part of the formula for the anion gap. [Na]-([Cl]+[HCO3])=Anion Gap
Why do renal or extrarenal losses of HC03 produce hyperchloremic (non-anion gap) metabolic acidosis?Kidney retention if chloride – to preserve extra cellular fluids.
