Anion gap = (Na + K) - (Cl + [HCO3-]) in normochloremic high anion gap. as hco3 is low
in hyperchloremic normal anion gap as chloride compensates loss of hco3

that is good explaining.
But i wanted to draw attn to the anion gap formula. The one written above is wht i had learnt too, but prior to USMLE. For this test the formula is: Anion Gap = Na - (Cl + HCO3) ....No K.
Give an example of a condition with normal anion gap metabolic acidosis and high anion gap metabolic acidosis.

high anion gap
DKA
lactic acidosi
renal failure
salicylate, ethalo methanol poisoning
NOrmal anion acidosis
diarrhea,
fanconi syndrome
Prox tubular acidosis(of course both of them are same)
total parebtaral nutrition

1.also INH and paraldehyde for high anion gap
LA MUD PIES or MUDPILES mnemonic for high AG acidosis.
2. GI losses and RTA for normal Anion gap
ofcourse u already said it, msyamp

i think it will produce met alkalosis ,,,,,,,,unless there is renal insufficiency along with it-----------thenit can produce nornal gap met acidosis
