  • Ever wondered what on earth the Anion Gap was all about? Yeah us neither. But when you've got yourself a metabolic acidosis, this is a good place to start.

    “I like to call it anion gap because that’s what it’s called.” 😂

    Spent an hour trying to understand this and couldn't, then i came to RUclips and a 7-minute video explains it superbly!
    Thank you very much! Keep up the amazing videos!

    Correction for 5:50
    Type 1 RTA - impaired H+ secretion into urine at distal convoluted tuble
    Type 2 RTA - loss of HCO3 into urine at PROXIMAL tubule

    Never have I ever seen a better explanation. You helped me A LOT. Thank you so much. It makes me happy to see there are good people in the world that want to help others, like you did by sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Brazil (today I felt like all of my effort to learn English was worth it because if I hadn’t studied it I wouldn’t be able to watch your video and I’d still be struggling with this anion gap thing lol)

    Thanks for filling in a 20+ year knowledge gap. I just converted everything you said into written notes - like almost every word - and now I feel like the fog has lifted. Finally. You are a star!💥

  • @AnnaGVilla
    @AnnaGVilla 7 лет назад +19

    Yes, I agree with the previous correction. RTA type II is caused by impairment of the PROXIMAL tubule which cannot absorb bicarb and that gives you the acidotic state. The type I is the impairment of the distal tubule which cannot excrete H protons (acid) and that gives you the acidosis. Anyway, your video was EXTREMELY helpful and I've watched it a thousand times because I always forget this topic and your video is always the easy super nice way to remember. Thank you SO MUCH!

    Oh my gosh, thank you! I have been asking people to explain this to me for years and no one has ever been able to or taken the time to. I am a nurse and doctors (especially new doctors, for some reason) get so worked up about the anion gap and I am always asking them about why this is so important and they just can never tell me. So frustrating since I need to understand these decisions that drive patient care. This was such a clear and straight forward explanation. Thank you! really cool information too, the human body is amazing.

  • @yomommashaus

    Excellent video keeping it simple as I was getting confused by the whole "renal vs GI" thing that's come up in lectures!
    Edit: your video provides a good base to build upon. Basically, in NAGMA, GI loss of HCO3 (diarrhea) causes kidneys to increase NH4+ excretion, resulting in decreased AG but if there is a renal loss of HCO3, then kidneys cannot respond by increasing NH4+ excretion, and you end up with HAGMA. For now, I'm happy with this as a base for my knowledge! Cheers!
