title: Normal "anion gap" (hyperchloremic) acidosis.
abstract: Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis in which the anion gap is within normal limits is a common condition in the hospital population, and often presents a difficult diagnostic problem. We describe nine typical cases of this disorder and suggest a logical approach to its evaluation.
