What does GOLD MARK stand for?
glycols 5-oxoproline L lactate D lactate methanol aspirin renal failure ketoacidosis
Winter’s formula
1.5xBicarb +8 +/- 2
Anion gap formula
Na - (HCO3+Cl)
Osmolar gap fomula
measured - calculated osmolarity
Osmolarity equation
2*Na + glucose/18 + BUN/2.8
Delta-delta gap equation
delta gap: Calculated anion gap - normal anion gap
delta bicarb: 24 - delta gap
if the measured bicarb was greater than what we calculated here, then theres metabolic alkalosis as well
if the measured bicarb was less than what we calculated here, then there’s NAGMA as well
Diagnosis of osmolar gap mnemonic

What is the effect of acidosis and alkalosis on potassium levels?
acidosis - hyperkalemia
alkalosis - hypokalemia
What is the difference in presentation between glomerular and non glomerular hematuria?
glomerular will have RBC casts, new proteinuria, elevated serum creatinine
non glomerular: more likely to have visible blood clots
What is the first thing to consider in work-up of hematuria?
urine culture
