| Abstract: | A 50-year-old man was transferred to the intensive care unit with high anion gap metabolic acidosis. Investigations suggested a diagnosis of pyroglutamic acidaemia. Factors contributing to the acidosis were medications (paracetamol and flucloxacillin), sepsis and renal failure. The acidosis resolved with supportive therapy and withdrawal of the drugs. It is important to recognise this treatable aetiology of metabolic acidosis. |
