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

My God I am in my final year of MBBS and am now trying to clear all my bad conceptss and trust me I never got the hang of inc. or dec. Anion gap until now!! Thank you. Thank you sm!!!!!

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

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

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!💥

Incredibly clear and succinct - I finally understand! You have a strong future in medical education ahead of you. Cannot thank you enough bro :)

it should be named Anion gap made easy

Seriously!

This is a very lucid and succinct refresher on the anion gap - thank you!

thanks!, this is by far the best video on anion gap metabolic acidosis, you seriously deserve more subs!

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!

Really happy you're back! Was hoping for follow ups on how your first year as a doctor has been after that first video

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!

I freaking love you! Explaining medical lab science and making it hilarious! Makes me hate my life a little less as I study for my exams! LOVE!

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.

0:53 was all i required to grasp the topic. Thank you so much! Lovely explanation.

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!

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

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

you are a genius , thank you. no one explained it so clear like you on KZread. you got a sub from me.

I just signed in youtube just to give a thumb up :), it truly deserves it great job

These videos are great, thanks for doing a better job than everyone else on YT in explaining this. You made it way too easy to understand...

Finally understand it. Best explanation I have found online to date. Thank you so much!

Never understood this topic until i have watched the video. You are genius. Thank you

I’m doing my toxicology unit and this was just the refresher I needed! Thank you

THIS WAS SO INCREDIBLY HELPFUL!!! THANK YOU!!!

I rarely leave comments on YT medical videos but this was absolute class. Thanks mate

There's a quote in language that says "you may find in the small river what you can't find in the huge ocean" I really lose respect to my college professors every time I see a video like this that explains in minutes what they couldn't in hours, bravo 👏

One of the best explanations of this concept i've seen.

Thank you 🙏🏽. I just took my mother from hospital and don’t understand some things. Thank you for you info now I have an idea.

THANK YOU!!! This is golden.

Oh my god, totally had a eureka moment watching this! Thanks!

Thank you very much! You were the only that made me understand this tricky thing! Very clear!

Fantastic!! Thank you for making this so clear.

What a helpful lecture!! I really appreciate your effort.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful and helpful video. You make it so easy to understand.

Killer video man! One small thing I noticed though. Looks like you forgot the parentheses on the equation both times you show it, 0:39 and 1:23. The equation is Anion Gap = ([Na+] + [K+]) − ([Cl−] + [HCO3−]). If you don't have the parentheses, the equation is Anion Gap = [Na+] + [K+] − [Cl−] + [HCO3−] and that would mean the subtraction wouldn't distribute to the bicarbonate as well, instead only applying to the Chloride. This would mean you'd be adding the bicarbonate. You got the math correct in your example though so I know you understand what you're talking about! Just thought I'd point that out so that it doesn't confuse anyone. Confused me for a bit haha. Thanks for the post!

If you do your proper Order of Operations, you just subtract the Cl- and HCO3- from Na+. It's super simple.
