Calculation

$AG = Na - (Cl + HCO_3^-)$

• plasma osmolar gap calculation
• example calculation winters formula agma
• use delta delta gap to calculate third acid base disorder

GOLD MARK

• G: glycol: common toxic alcohols
• O: oxoproline: pyroglutamic acidosis aka tylenol toxicity
• L: lactate lactic acidosis types
• D: D lactate
• M: methanol: common toxic alcohols
• A: ASA salicylate cause for AGMA
• R: renal failure, bicarb loss usually before stage 5 and regresses after stage 5. AG happens more in stage 5 when kidney is unable to excrete ammonia and other titratable acids.
  • causes for BUN elevation
• K: ketoacidosis
  • DKA vs other types of ketoacidosis
