In-depth Analysis of Anion Gap and Acid-Base Disorders

Exploring the different anions causing anion gap metabolic acidosis, from endogenous acids to ingested substances, and discussing the mudpiles acronym for recalling etiologies. The chapter emphasizes the importance of comparing baseline anion gap, delves into non-anion gap metabolic acidosis, hyperchloramic metabolic acidosis, delta ratio calculation, and the significance of ratios in detecting concurrent acid-base disorders.
