Normal anion gap- FUSED CARS


In patients with a normal anion gap the drop in HCO3 is compensated for almost completely by an increase in Cl and hence is also known as hyperchloremic acidosis.
The HCO3 lost is replaced by a chloride anion, and thus there is a normal anion gap.

FUSED CARS 


Fistula (pancreatic)
Uretogastric conduits
Saline administration
Endocrine (hyperparathyroidism)
Diarrhea


Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (acetazolamide)
