Q

Titrational metabolic acidosis is what/

A

Metabolic acidosis with increased anion gap

25
What anions can cause a titrational metabolic acidosis?
Lactic acids, uremic acids, phosphates, ketoacids, ethylene glycol.
26
Major causes of metabolic alkalosis:
Loss of H+ (Vomiting, DA, or abomasal reflux) | Gain a base (Fluid admin)
27
What is a simple metabolic alkalosis?
High bicarb with anion gap WRI
28
What are conditions that increases the anion gap?
Uremic acids, lactic acids, ketones, ethylene glycol, hyperalbuminemia
29
Metabolic alkalosis paradoxical aciduria is characterized by:
Metabolic alkalosis, decrease in Cl, decrease in K | Urine pH is acidic
30
What do you see metabolic alkalosis paradoxical aciduria with?
Ruminants with upper GI stasis or DA
