ANION GAP | SOMedEd
💡 Anion gap matters in clinical practice: 🩺
• Differentiates metabolic acidosis 🧪
- High AG: DKA, lactic acidosis, uremia, toxins (MUDPILES/GOLD MARK) ⚠️
- Normal AG: diarrhea, RTA, acetazolamide 📉
• Detects mixed/hidden acid–base disorders (e.g., sepsis) 🔍
• Monitors treatment response (e.g., DKA resolution) 📊
• Suggests toxin ingestion (e.g., toxic alcohols, salicylates) ☠️
• Limitation: low albumin can falsely lower AG (consider correction) 📝
