ANION GAP | SOMedEd


πŸ’‘ Anion gap matters in clinical practice: 🩺

β€’ Differentiates metabolic acidosis πŸ§ͺ
- High AG: DKA, lactic acidosis, uremia, toxins (MUDPILES/GOLD MARK) ⚠️
- Normal AG: diarrhea, RTA, acetazolamide πŸ“‰

β€’ Detects mixed/hidden acid–base disorders (e.g., sepsis) πŸ”

β€’ Monitors treatment response (e.g., DKA resolution) πŸ“Š

β€’ Suggests toxin ingestion (e.g., toxic alcohols, salicylates) ☠️

β€’ Limitation: low albumin can falsely lower AG (consider correction) πŸ“
