What is Mudpiles Mnemonic?
The mnemonic was MUDPILES: Methanol, Uremia, Diabetic ketoacidosis (or alcoholic ketoacidosis,) Paraldehyde, Iron (or Isoniazid,) Lactic acidosis, Ethylene glycol, and Salicylates. Recent evidence indicates that this mnemonic is no longer adequate because it misses a number of important toxicological causes.
What is non gap acidosis?
Non-gap metabolic acidosis, or hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, are a group of disorders characterized by a low bicarbonate, hyperchloremia and a normal anion gap (10-12). A non-gapped metabolic acidosis fall into three categories: 1) loss of base (bicarbonate) from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or.
How do you remember metabolic acidosis?
Causes of non-AG metabolic acidosis can be remembered with the mnemonic ACCRUED (acid load, chronic renal failure, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, renal tubular acidosis [RTA], ureteroenterostomy, expansion/extra-alimentation, diarrhea).
How do you remember acidosis or alkalosis?
Now, if a patient’s pH falls below 7.35, they are in a state of acidosis (remember the acidic-lemon?). If the patient’s pH is above 7.45, the patient would be in a state of alkalosis (the elk-loser).
What is D-lactic acidosis?
D-lactic acidosis is an unusual form of lactic acidosis that can occur in patients with short bowel syndrome. It has also been described in patients who receive or ingest large amounts of propylene glycol and in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis.
What does anion gap of 11 mean?
An anion gap number between 3 and 10 is considered normal. But the “normal” range can vary from person to person, and it may also depend on the methods your lab used to do the test.
What is non-anion gap hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis?
Definition. In non-anion gap or hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, a reduction in serum [HCO3−] is matched by an approximately equivalent increase in the serum chloride concentration resulting in hypobicarbonatemia and hyperchloremia in the absence of an increase in the serum anion gap [4, 5].
What is the difference between anion gap and non-anion gap acidosis?
Normal anion gap acidosis is an acidosis that is not accompanied by an abnormally increased anion gap. The most common cause of normal anion gap acidosis is diarrhea with a renal tubular acidosis being a distant second….

What is Rome Mnemonic?
Because interpretation of ABG results can sometimes be difficult, especially when attempting to determine compensation or combination types of imbalances, the ROME mnemonic (respiratory, opposite; metabolic, equal) can be helpful.
What is acid base Mnemonic?
They are H2SO4 (or sulfuric acid), HI (hydrologic acid), HBr (hydrobromic acid), HNO3 (nitric acid), HCl (hydrochloric acid) and HClO4 (perchloric acid). The mnemonic that I can use to help you memorize these six strong acids is: So I Brought No Clean Clothes.
What is the difference between D-lactate and L-lactate?
Two enantiomers of lactic acid exist. While L-lactic acid is a common compound of human metabolism, D-lactic acid is produced by some strains of microorganism or by some less relevant metabolic pathways. While L-lactic acid is an endogenous compound, D-lactic acid is a harmful enantiomer.
What does D-lactate free mean?
D-lactate is a result of fermentation of probiotic bacteria in the digestive system. An excess of D-lactate in our system can produce digestive and neurological problems especially with people with Short Bowel Syndrome and autism. Our D-lactate free formula contains L. Salivarius, L. Rhamnosus, B.
