NAGMA Diagnosis
- Non-anion gap metabolic acidosis (NAGMA) is diagnosed when the anion gap is less than 12.
- A combined anion gap metabolic acidosis (AGMA) and NAGMA can occur, diagnosed by the delta-delta.
Understanding RTA
- For a detailed explanation of renal tubular acidosis (RTA), consult the 'orthopedic post of an orthopod explaining RTA' on GomerBlog.
- The post is considered both humorous and informative.
NAGMA Treatment
- Treat NAGMA with bicarbonate if the bicarbonate level is low.
- A bicarbonate level around 22 may not require treatment.
