Overview
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Common Causes
Low Anion Gap
- (Low) Albumin (hypoalbuminism)
- Multiple myeloma
Normal Anion Gap (Hyperchloremic Acidosis)
The mnemonic for the most common causes of a normal-anion gap metabolic acidosis is "DURHAM."
- D- Diarrhea
- M- Miscellaneous (congenital chloride diarrhea, amphotericin B, toluene - toluene causes high anion gap metabolic acidosis followed by normal anion gap metabolic acidosis).
High Anion Gap
The mnemonic "MUDPILES" is used to remember the causes of a high anion gap.
- M - Methanol/Metformin
- U - Uremia
- D - Diabetic ketoacidosis
- P - Paraldehyde/Propylene glycol
- I - Infection/Ischemia/Isoniazid
- L - Lactate
- E - Ethylene glycol/Ethanol
- S - Salicylates/Starvation
