This case enlarges the morphologic spectrum of this disorder and emphasizes the need to distinguish it from other causes of renal vasculitis. Am J Kidney Dis. 61(4): 638-643. (C) 2013 by the National Kidney Foundation, Inc.doi:10.1053/j.ajkd.2012.11.030P Dedhia...
Urine ammonia concentration is crucial to understanding and quantifying the kidney's response to metabolic acidosis. This test is generally not performed by clinical laboratories. The urine anion gap and osmolar gaps have been proposed as surrogate measures of urine ammonia in patients with hyperchlore...

OSMOLAR concentrationThe article discusses the effect on the anion and osmolal gaps due to medication implication. It explains that the difference between the measured cations and anions in the serum is called as anion gap and difference between the measured serum...
A ratio of 1 suggests a simple anion gap acidosis; if 1 a superimposed metabolic alkalosis is raising HCO3. Comparing the anion gap and osmolar gap can narrow the differential diagnosis to include toxic alcohol ingestions with acidic metabolites such as ethylene glycol and methanol. Not all ...

Lithium overdose: Negative anion gap and elevated osmolar gap in an elderly patient: case report
This patient's presentation was unique: Lyme disease in the setting of severe anion gap metabolic acidosis with an osmolar gap. Conclusions: The outcome of critically ill patients can be determined by the clinician's method to address the diagnostic dilemma and quality of suppor...
If this is true, one may expect that the serum osmolality measured directly will be higher than the estimated one, leading to an osmolar gap (OG). Previous studies have shown that indeed OG exists in patients with CRF. We proceeded to determine SMA-7, AG, and OG simultaneously in ...
