  • Title: A Quick Reference on High Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis.
    Author: Funes S, de Morais HA.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 2017 Mar; 47(2):205-207. PubMed ID: 28017408.
    Abstract:
    High anion gap (AG) metabolic acidoses can be identified by a decrease in pH, decrease in HCO3- or base excess, and an increased AG. The AG represents the difference between unmeasured cations and unmeasured anions; it increases secondary to the accumulation of anions other than bicarbonate and chloride. The most common causes of high AG acidosis are renal failure, diabetic ketoacidosis, and lactic acidosis. Severe increases in concentration of phosphorus can cause hyperphosphatemic acidosis.
