non-anion gap acidosis

**Non-Anion Gap Acidosis**

Non-anion gap acidosis, also known as hyperchloremic acidosis, is a type of metabolic acidosis characterized by a normal anion gap. It occurs when there is a loss of bicarbonate or an excessive accumulation of chloride in the blood, leading to a decrease in blood pH. Common causes include diarrhea, renal tubular acidosis, and certain medications. Understanding non-anion gap acidosis is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment in clinical practice.
