Hyperchloraemic Metabolic Acidosis
May develop as a consequence of:
Prolonged or large volume administration of 0.9% NaCl;
Bicarbonate loss from body fluids through the GI tract or kidneys, with subsequent chloride retention;
Defective renal acidification, with failure to excrete normal quantities of metabolically produced acid (whereby the conjugate base is excreted as the sodium salt and sodium chloride is retained);
Addition of hydrochloric acid to body fluids;
Addition or generation of another acid with rapid titration of bicarbonate and rapid renal excretion of the accompanying anion and replacement by chloride.
