how to calculate anion gap
Na - (Cl+serum HCO3)
H2CO3 is reflected by the
pCO2 (lungs)
can metabolic acidosis and alkalosis be concurrent?
yes
can respiratory acidosis and alkalosis be concurrent?
NOPE
metabolic alkalosis characterized by what physiological change?
incr bicarb concentration
metabolic acidosis characterized by what physiological change?
decr bicarb concentration
what concentration of HCO3 is primary metabolic alkalosis
> 40 mmol/L
contraction alkalosis is caused by____, but maintained by____
diuretics; hyperaldosteronism
what concentration of HCO3 is primary metabolic acidosis
under 15 mmol/L
what is incr in anion gap caused by?
incr in unmeasured anions
normal anion gap
12 mmol/L
hyperglycemia + high AG metabolic acidosis + ketonemia
DKA
normal serum osmolal gap
10-15 mosm/kg
