Case analysis
High anion gap met acidosis
Net gain of acid
• Is ECF volume low? (dehydrated) - DKA , lactic
acidosis
• Is GFR low (high serum creatinine)? – AKI / CKD
• High plasma osmolal gap – methanol, ethylene
glycol
• Sepsis / shock – Lactic acidosis
Metabolic acidosis
Net gain of acid
• Increased acid production e.g. lactic
acidosis, ketoacidosis
• Reduced excretion of inorganic acids e.g.
renal failure
Increased bicarbonate loss
• Diarrhea, renal tubular acidosis
Dilution of serum bicarbonate
• Non-balanced fluids - normal saline

Normal Δ ratio - 1-2 --> Isolated High AG Metabolic Acidosis (HAGMA)
Δ ratio < 1 ---> associated Normal AG Metabolic Acidosis (NAGMA)

Case analysisA 4year old male child with nephrotic syndrome is brought to the ER
with abdominal pain, anasarca, breathing difficulty and oliguria. BP –
128/90 mmHg. Weight – 23 kgs. Tests – Hb. 9.4, TLC –30,000, creatinine –
0.6 mg/dl, serum albumin 2.8 g/dl, AF TC – 1300 cells, 90 % polymorphs.
You start the child on IV antibiotics, fluid restriction and IV diuretics. After 48
hours his BP – 92/50 mmHg, weight – 19 kgs.

Case analysis
High anion gap met acidosis
Net gain of acid
• Is ECF volume low? (dehydrated) - DKA , lactic
acidosis
• Is GFR low (high serum creatinine)? – AKI / CKD
• High plasma osmolal gap – methanol, ethylene
glycol
• Sepsis / shock – Lactic acidosis
Metabolic alkalosis
Volume depletion (Urinary Chloride)
• GI loss of Cl (low urinary Cl) – vomiting, NG suction
• Renal loss of Cl (high urinary Cl) – Diuretics,
Bartter's or Gitelmann's syndrome
Volume expanded state:
(primary or secondary hyperaldosteronism)
• High PRA or Low PRA states

Diagnosis and further management
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis/Low ECF – Metabolic acidosis
Aggressive diuresis - metabolic alkalosis
Further evaluation:• Urinary chloride – high
Treatment:• Control infection
• Stop diuretics
• Give chloride rich fluids – normal saline
