1/n consultation for multiple electrolyte and acid-base disturbances. Pt arrives with abdominal pain. Not eating for 5 days. Chemistry shows low Na, K and C02. VBG on the other hand shows a CO2 18 mEq/L higher than that of the BMP. Why the discrepancy?…

1/n One of the things that I find valuable in internal medicine in general is pattern recognition. And nephrology is not the exception. AKIs come in different flavors, we can smell the etiology based on the presentation and the way the serum Cr (sCr) rises.
