Hyperchloremic acidosis is a form of metabolic acidosis characterized by a decrease in bicarbonate concentration, which is caused by an excess of chloride in relation to sodium. This condition is also known as non-anion gap acidosis.
Causes[edit]
Hyperchloremic acidosis can be caused by a variety of conditions, including severe diarrhea, kidney disease, and the use of certain medications such as diuretics. In addition, it can also occur as a result of the loss of bicarbonate from the body, which can occur in conditions such as renal tubular acidosis.
Symptoms[edit]
The symptoms of hyperchloremic acidosis can vary depending on the severity of the condition. They can include fatigue, weakness, nausea, vomiting, and confusion. In severe cases, it can lead to shock or coma.
Diagnosis[edit]
The diagnosis of hyperchloremic acidosis is typically made through a blood test that measures the levels of electrolytes, including chloride and bicarbonate. Other tests may also be used to determine the underlying cause of the condition.
Treatment[edit]
The treatment of hyperchloremic acidosis typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the condition. This can include rehydration, the use of medications to correct the acidosis, and in some cases, dialysis.
