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

Bro you not only explained anion gap but a full lecture of metabolic acidosis in 6 minutes you're a genius

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

I literally wanna hug you lol, I’m about to graduate and only just truly understood the hypercloremia part ♥️ Thanks

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!💥

Beautifully expressed...as a surgeon...this is perhaps the best explanation..

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!

Learned about this in med but they never really explained what it was all about. They told me to know the equation and memorize MUDPILES and etc. This brings it all together, thank you so much!

Just to echo previous happy commenters, thank you for this excellent little video - clearly and succinctly explained with some humour thrown in as well! Much appreciated <3

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.
