Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
Approach
| Metabolic acidosis physician extender algorithm |
| Elevated anion gap? | Yes | No |
| Delta-delta (ΔΔ) value | Equal to 1 | Greater than 1 | Less than 1 |
Action Item
- Consider the coexistence of high anion gap metabolic acidosis and metabolic alkalosis.
