Metabolic acidosis, a condition characterized by high levels of acid in the body and blood is common in hospitalized patients. While there are numerous potential causes of metabolic acidosis, many cases can be diagnosed by clinical history examination and routine lab chemistries. Calculation of the anion gap which reflects the difference between the positively charged cations and the negatively charged anions in the blood is often a part of this diagnostic work up.
