Abstract: In the critically ill, metabolic acidosis is a common observation and, in clinical practice, the cause of this derangement is often multifactorial. Various measures are often employed to try and characterise the aetiology of metabolic acidosis, the most popular of which is the anion gap. The purpose of the anion gap can be perceived as a means by which the physician is alerted to the presence of unmeasured anions in plasma that contribute to the observed acidosis. In many cases, the causative ion may be easily… Show more

“…Evidence suggests that beside albumin, globulines and [P i ], also other weak and strong ions alter acid–base homeostasis during exercise (Forni et al 2006 ; McKinnon et al 2008 ). Particularly, amino acids, intermediates of the Krebs cycle, tricarboxylic acids and ammonia are released into the blood and may affect acid–base balance (Sewell et al 1994 ; Wagenmakers 1998 ; Casas et al 2001 ; Kato et al 2004 ).…”

“…The impact of this organic compound on acid–base homeostasis is not yet fully clarified. Several clinical and experimental studies suggest these organic compounds to be organic acids as well as ketone bodies and metabolic intermediates of the intracellular cycles of glucose and fatty acid metabolism (Forni et al 2006 ; Moviat et al 2008 ). McKinnon et al investigated this compound using liquid chromatography and enzyme assays (Forni et al 2006 ; McKinnon et al 2008 ).…”

“…Methanol, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, salicylate, and some inborn error of metabolism are DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.91760 other causes of unmeasured anions [33]. Both lactate and β-hydroxybutyrate are increased in both Gram-positive septiceamia [34] and starvation [35]. Krebs cycle intermediate citrate, isocitrate, malate, α-ketogluterate, succinate and D-lactate are increased in different types of acidosis.…”

“…Krebs cycle intermediate citrate, isocitrate, malate, α-ketogluterate, succinate and D-lactate are increased in different types of acidosis. Intestinal ischemia and short bowel syndrome cause increase in D-lactate [35]. Plasma proteins are mostly anionic comprising 75% of the unmeasured anion [36][37][38].…”

“…High SAG is typical for the occurrence of unmeasured anions (for example ketones, lactate, metabolites of methanol and ethylene glycol, phosphate) where HCO 3− is consumed via its action as a buffer. High SAG metabolic acidosis is seen in ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, intoxication and acute renal failure [ 2 ].…”
