The incidence of acid-base disorders (ABDs) is high, especially in hospitalized patients.
ABDs are often indicators for severe systemic disorders. In everyday clinical practice …

Background: Normal anion gap metabolic acidosis is a common but often misdiagnosed
clinical condition associated with diarrhea and renal tubular acidosis (RTA). Early …

Background Biomarkers such as serum lactate, anion gap (AG), and base excess (BE) have
been shown to be of use in determining shock in patients with seemingly normal vital signs …

Background Anion gap (AG) aids the differential diagnosis of acid-base disorders. Its value
has decreased, because of new analytical methods. Our goal was to compare AG reference …

Background: Retrospective case series suggest that abnormalities in fluid, electrolyte, and
acid-base homeostasis may occur among infants with a febrile urinary tract infection …

Several obstacles make it difficult to understand acid-base disorders in the emergency
department (ED):(1) understanding of basic principles, which is frequently obscured by rote …

Background The anion gap (AG) is often used to evaluate acid–base disorders. The
reference interval for normal AG is used to differentiate between raised (gap) or normal AG …

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of a large, anonymised dataset extracted by
