Elevated Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis - ABG Interpretation

Explore a comprehensive 43-minute video lecture on elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis, focusing on lactic acid, ketoacids, and toxic alcohols. Delve into the differential diagnosis, including renal failure, oxoproline, toluene, and paraldehyde. Learn about the formation and sources of lactate, medications associated with lactic acidosis, and the unique aspects of D-lactic acidosis. Examine ketoacidosis pathways, including those specific to alcoholics. Investigate the role of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and methanol in metabolic acidosis, and understand the concept of serum osmolal gap. Gain insights into the y-glutamyl cycle and its relevance to toluene-induced acidosis.
