Other Diagnostic Studies

Test useful in differential diagnosis of Metabolic Acidosis:

HIGH ANION GAP METABOLIC ACIDOSIS
Serum and urine ketones
serum creatinine
serum D lactate and L lactate
serum osmolality
serum toxic alcohol
urine microscopy for crystals
woods lamp examination of urine
urine organic acids

NORMAL ANION GAP METABOLIC ACIDOSIS
serum potassium
serum creatinine
urine electrolytes
urine osmolality
urine pH
fractional excretion of bicarbonates
urine urea nitrogen
urine glucose
