Question

A patient has a sodium of 140, a chloride of 100, and a bicarbonate of 15 mmol per liter. What does the calculated anion gap indicate?

Accepted Answer

보기 1: An increased anion gap metabolic acidosis

Subtracting chloride and bicarbonate from sodium gives 25, well above the reference range. An increased anion gap means unmeasured acids have accumulated. Ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, renal failure, and certain intoxications are the classic causes.
