  3. Alb- ~ 10-12 mM/L HCO3- Na+ Cl- Metabolic Acidosis: The “Anion Gap”  [Na+] - ([Cl-] + [HCO3-])

  4. Na+ + Cl- + H+ + HCO3- Na+ + Cl- +H2CO3 Na+ + Cl- +CO2 + H2O What happens after HCl addition: Na+ + Cl-

  5. Alb- Alb- HCO3- HCO3- Na+ Na+ Cl- Cl- Nl Anion gap M acidosis Metabolic Acidosis: The “Anion Gap”  [Na+] - ([Cl-] + [HCO3-])

  6. Na+ + A- + Cl- + H+ + HCO3- Na+ + A- +Cl- +H2CO3 Na+ + A- +Cl- +CO2 + H2O What happens after AH addition where “A” is a retained anion: Na+ + A- +Cl-

  7. Alb- Alb- Alb- HCO3- HCO3- HCO3- A- Na+ Na+ Na+ Cl- Cl- Cl- High Anion gap M acidosis Metabolic Acidosis: The “Anion Gap”  [Na+] - ([Cl-] + [HCO3-]) Nl Anion gap M acidosis

  8. Na+ Cl- BUN K+HCO3- creatinine Glucose 140  105  30 4.5  25  1.5 90 Clinician short-hand you should know:

  9. And now, it’s time for: “Calculate That Gap” 140  105  30 Glucose 90 4.5  25  1.5 140 -(105 + 25) = 10 = normal 141  105  27 Glucose 100 4.2  6  1.2 141 - (105 + 6) = 30 = high 139  113  33 Glucose 126 3.7  16  1.4 139 - (113 + 16) = 10 = normal

  10. Differential Dx of high-anion • gap acidosis: "SLUMPED": • Salicylates • Lactic acidosis • Uremia • Methanol intoxication • Paint sniffing (toluene) • Ethylene glycol intoxication • DKA or alcoholic ketoacidosis

  11. Salicylates - ± Hx aspirin ingestion, nausea, tinnitus, unexplained hyperventilation, noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, elevated prothrombin time Usually: mixed respiratory alkalosis & metabolic acidosis (rare: metab pure acidosis) Toxic at < 5 mEq/l, so no anionic contrib to AG No increase in osmolal gap ([ASA] < 5 mM)

  12. Treatment for salicylate intoxication: Un-ionized form (protonated) enters the brain and is excreted poorly So….alkalinize (HCO3 infusion) to maximize renal excretion (dialysis)

  13. Lactic acidosis - Type A = increased O2 demand or decreased O2 delivery Type B = Malignancies (lymphoma) Phenformin, metformin hepatic failure acute respiratory alkalosis (salicylates) HAART congenital (glycogen storage disease type I) etc

  14. Uremia is indicated by BUN, creatinine (chronicity by kidney size and Hct). Methanol - presents with ± abdominal pain, vomiting, headache; CT: BL putamen infarcts visual disturbance (optic neuritis)

  15. Putamen infarcts Methanol intoxication: neurological effects Normal retina (left); optic neuritis (right)

  16. Anion gap may be > 50 Osmolal gap > 10 mOsm

  17. Paint sniffing (“huffing”) (toluene) may present as either anion gap acidosis or normal gap acidosis Anion = hippurate No increase in osmolal gap

  18. Ethylene glycol - presents with ± CNS disturbances, cardiovascular collapse, respiratory failure, renal failure Oxalate crystals (octahedral or dumbell) in urine are diagnostic Anion gap may be > 50 Osmolal gap > 10 mOsm

  19. “The rotund rodents chew through brake lines and radiator hoses in search of a fix of ethylene glycol…” “Marmots have an amazing ability to handle toxic substances. To tranquilize them, they need the same dose as a bear, and a bear will be down for 40 minutes while a marmot will be back up in 5. If you have to redrug them, it’s really hard to make them unconscious again.” National Wildlife Feb/Mar, 2002

  20. Oxalate crystals “back of the envelope”

  21. Treatment for methanol & ethylene glycol intoxication: 1. Ethanol infusion to compete with alcohol dehydrogenase (dialysis) OR 2. “Antizol” (fomepizole) (inhibits ADH) load, then 10 mg/kg q12 x 4

  22. Diabetic ketoacidosis - Key clinical features are: type I DM (i.e. no insulin) a trigger: e.g. sepsis, fracture, stroke hyperglycemia ECF vol depletion & renal insufficiency acetoacetic- and  hydroxybutyric- acids

  23. Alcoholic ketoacidosis - key clinical features are recent stopping ingestion of ethanol, hypoglycemia, and contracted ECF (usually due to vomiting)

  24. THE SERUM OSMOLALITY CAN HELP WITH THE DIAGNOSIS IN HIGH ANION GAP ACIDOSES Step 1: Calculate Osm = 2[Na+] + glucose/18 + BUN/2.8 Step 2: Measure Osm (freezing point depression) 3. Osmolal gap (measured - calc) should be ≤ 10 Osm gap due to small, osmotically-active molecules: mannitol (no acidosis) ethanol (acidosis = AKA) isopropanol (a "drunk" with ketones, but no acidosis) methanol (acidosis) ethylene glycol (acidosis)

  25. Does metabolic acidosis cause hyperkalemia via H+/K+ exchange?

  26. Na+ + Lact- +Cl- +CO2 + H2O Lact- HCO3- Na+ + Lact- + Cl- + H+ + HCO3- Na+ + Lact- +Cl- +H2CO3 Acute lactic acidosis from seizures (“closed” system”; lactate reabsorbed) Na+ + Cl- + HCO3- Na+ + Lact- +Cl- (low HCO3-,high gap) Na+ + Cl- + HCO3- (normal HCO3-,normal gap)

  27. [HCO3-] pH A. Gap [K+] Seizure Acute lactic acidosis from seizures (“closed” system”; lactate reabsorbed) Time (minutes)

  28. H+ H+ A- Cl- K+ K+ Principles of K+/H+ Exchange: 1. Occurs if anion is impermeable 2. Limited if anion is permeable (“organic”)

  29. Causes of a “normal anion gap” (A.K.A. “hyperchloremic”) metabolic acidosis 1. GI bicarbonate loss: diarrhea villous adenoma pancreatic, biliary, small bowel fistulae uretero-sigmoidostomy obstructed uretero-ileostomy

  30. HCO3- HCO3- HCO3- Cl- Cl- HCO3- K+ Diarrhea Causes Loss of HCO3- And a Normal Anion Gap Acidosis And Hypokalemia Pancreas Pancreas Ileum Ileum Colon Colon Cl- Normal Diarrhea

  34. How to differentiate GI HCO3- loss from renal HCO3- loss? Use the urinary anion gap The underlying assumption is that NH4+ is excreted and maintains electroneutrality: ([Na+] + [K+] + [NH4+]) - [Cl-] = 0 Since NH4+ is unmeasured, a negative urine anion gap indicates NH4+Cl excretion (i.e. normal renal tubule acidification)

  35. A positive urine anion gap ~ no NH4+Cl excretion (i.e. low renal tubule acidification) Normal acidotic: closed circles Diarrhea: closed triangles Type 1 or IV RTA: open circles Battle et al, NEJM 1988
