Metabolic acidosis - The Acid-Base Series

Always been confused as to what the anion gap means? Learn it in this workup to metabolic acidosis, jammed in 10 minutes of your time.
Take home messages: every metabolic acidosis requires the calculation of the anion gap. If increased, use a mnemonic like KILOGRAM, MUDPILES or GOLDMARK. Next, calculate osmolar gap.
