Albumin contributes 2-4 to the A.G.
A narrow or positive AG implies excessive
unmeasured cations (light chains)
A.G. >20 implies the presence of a wide

Bicarbonate deficit
Deficit/ liter
Volume of distribution (1/2 body weight)
Amount of NaHCO3
=deficit x Vd
e.g. to increase serum bicarbonate from
2 to 12 meq/liter in a 70 kg male:
Deficit=10
Vd =35
Amount=350meq ~ 7 amps

Metabolic Alkalosis:Case 1
A 60 year old woman with Hep-C
cirrhosis is admitted with variceal
bleed. After being rapidly transfused 8
U PRBC, she is taken to the OR. Post
op labs:
7.53/50/99/40 AG=14
Ascites begins to reaccumulate.
How would you treat her alkalosis?
