Hyperchloremic acidosis is a form of metabolic acidosis associated with a normal anion gap, a decrease in plasma bicarbonate concentration, and in an increase in plasma chloride concentration (see anion gap for a fuller explanation).

Causes

*Renal tubular acidosis failure of HCO3- resorption("i.e.", proximal renal tubular acidosis) or failure of H+ secretion (ie in distal renal tubular acidosis)
*Renal failure
*Gastrointestinal loss of HCO3- with diarrhea (vomiting will tend to cause hypochloraemic alkalosis).
*Ingestions
**Ammonium chloride, Hydrochloric acid
**Hyperalimentation fluids ("i.e.", total parenteral nutrition)

* Alcohol (such as ethanol) can effect anion gap by inducing alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme.

ee also

*Anion gap
*Metabolic acidosis
