Anion gap metabolic acidosis
نویسنده
چکیده
Metabolic acidosis is defined as a low arterial blood pH in conjunction with a reduced serum HCO3concentration. Respiratory compensation results in a decrease in PaCO2. A low serum HCO3concentration alone is not diagnostic of metabolic acidosis because it also results from the renal compensation to chronic respiratory alkalosis. Measurement of the arterial pH differentiates between these two possibilities1.

Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis with Grade 4 Vesicoureteral Reflux in a Child with Single Kidney
Introduction Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a non-uremic defects of urinary acidification. It is characterized by a normal anion gap hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis; plasma potassium may be normal, low or high-depending on the type of RTA. These syndromes differ from uremic acidosis which is associated with a high anion gap, decreased glomerular filtration with enhanced proton secretion b...
متن کاملRecurrent high anion gap metabolic acidosis secondary to 5-oxoproline (pyroglutamic acid).
High anion gap metabolic acidosis in adults is a severe metabolic disorder for which the primary organic acid usually is apparent by clinical history and standard laboratory testing. We report a case of recurrent high anion gap metabolic acidosis in a 48-year-old man who initially presented with anorexia and malaise. Physical examination was unrevealing. Arterial pH was 6.98, P co 2 was 5 mm Hg...
متن کاملTreatment of acute non-anion gap metabolic acidosis
Acute non-anion gap metabolic acidosis, also termed hyperchloremic acidosis, is frequently detected in seriously ill patients. The most common mechanisms leading to this acid-base disorder include loss of large quantities of base secondary to diarrhea and administration of large quantities of chloride-containing solutions in the treatment of hypovolemia and various shock states. The resultant a...
متن کاملAcetaminophen-induced anion gap metabolic acidosis secondary to 5-oxoproline: a case report
INTRODUCTION 5-oxoproline (pyroglutamic acid), an organic acid intermediate of the gamma-glutamyl cycle, is a rare cause of high anion gap metabolic acidosis. Acetaminophen and several other drugs have been implicated in the development of transient 5-oxoprolinemia in adults. We believe that reporting all cases of 5-oxoprolinemia will contribute to a better understanding of this disease. Here, ...
متن کامل5-Oxoproline as a cause of high anion gap metabolic acidosis: an uncommon cause with common risk factors.
High anion gap metabolic acidosis might be caused by 5-oxoproline (pyroglutamic acid). As it is very easy to treat, it might be worth drawing attention to this uncommon and probably often overlooked diagnosis. We present three cases of high anion gap metabolic acidosis due to 5-oxoproline seen within a period of six months.
متن کاملToluene toxicity as a cause of elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis.
Dyspnea and elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis are common presenting problems in critically ill patients. In certain cases, however, the standard workup for these problems does not reveal an etiology, and other diagnoses must be considered. We describe a woman who presented with dyspnea and severe acidemia due to a profound metabolic acidosis, who was subsequently found to have toluene toxic...
