โ€ข Differentiates metabolic acidosis ๐Ÿงช
- High AG: DKA, lactic acidosis, uremia, toxins (MUDPILES/GOLD MARK) โš ๏ธ
- Normal AG: diarrhea, RTA, acetazolamide ๐Ÿ“‰

โ€ข Detects mixed/hidden acidโ€“base disorders (e.g., sepsis) ๐Ÿ”

โ€ข Monitors treatment response (e.g., DKA resolution) ๐Ÿ“Š

โ€ข Suggests toxin ingestion (e.g., toxic alcohols, salicylates) โ˜ ๏ธ

โ€ข Limitation: low albumin can falsely lower AG (consider correction) ๐Ÿ“
