The diagnosis of NAGMA may be made in one of two ways (red arrows above) Patient has normal anion gap with metabolic acidosis (bicarbonate < 22 mM).
Although NAGMA frequently correlates with poor outcomes, it's unclear to what extent it may cause harm. The rationale for treatment include the following includes: (1) Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis may increase the risk of renal injury (24335444, 22580944, 29485926).
Benign neoplasm of meninges, unspecified. The 2018/2019 edition of ICD-10-CM D32.9 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of D32.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 D32.9 may differ.
The cause of NAGMA is often fairly clear, based on a review of clinical history and medications. The potassium level may be used as an early clue to the etiology of NAGMA (table below). This isn't 100% accurate, but may help point out the right direction. Will be more helpful if the potassium is markedly abnormal.
ICD-10-CM Code for Acidosis E87. 2.
Metabolic acidosis develops when too much acid is produced in the body. It can also occur when the kidneys cannot remove enough acid from the body.

It can also occur when the kidneys cannot remove enough acid from the body. There are several types of metabolic acidosis: Diabetic acidosis (also called diabetic ketoacidosis and DKA) develops when substances called ketone bodies (which are acidic) build up during uncontrolled diabetes.
Metabolic acidosis is a serious electrolyte disorder characterized by an imbalance in the body's acid-base balance. Metabolic acidosis has three main root causes: increased acid production, loss of bicarbonate, and a reduced ability of the kidneys to excrete excess acids.
The most common causes of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis are gastrointestinal bicarbonate loss, renal tubular acidosis, drugs-induced hyperkalemia, early renal failure and administration of acids.
NAGMA fundamentally represents an imbalance between sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate. Treatment therefore may involve addition of sodium bicarbonate and/or removal of sodium chloride. The optimal approach depends on volume status, for example: Hypovolemia –> Add sodium bicarbonate.
Lactic acidosis shares the ICD-10-CM code, E87. 2, Acidosis, with other causes of acidosis, respiratory or metabolic.
Lactic acidosis occurs when lactic acid production exceeds lactic acid clearance. The increase in lactate production is usually caused by impaired tissue oxygenation, either from decreased oxygen delivery or a defect in mitochondrial oxygen utilization. (See "Approach to the adult with metabolic acidosis".)
Causes include accumulation of ketones and lactic acid, renal failure, and drug or toxin ingestion (high anion gap) and gastrointestinal or renal HCO3− loss (normal anion gap). Symptoms and signs in severe cases include nausea and vomiting, lethargy, and hyperpnea.
Acidosis and alkalosis are conditions in which there is a disturbance in the pH balance (acid-base balance) of the body. Acidosis is a condition in which the bodily fluids become too acidic, with an abnormally low pH level. In alkalosis, the opposite is true: the fluids of the body are too alkaline (high in pH).
Abstract. Context and objective: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is associated with a metabolic alkalosis, which is thought to be due to vomiting. However, alkalosis can occur in DKA without vomiting. We retrospectively reviewed the acid-base disturbances in DKA admissions without vomiting.
M60.-) (my-al-juh) pain in a muscle or group of muscles. A chronic disorder of unknown etiology characterized by pain, stiffness, and tenderness in the muscles of neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms, and legs. Other signs and symptoms include headaches, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and painful menstruation.
A common nonarticular rheumatic condition that is characterized by muscle pain, tenderness, and stiffness. A common nonarticular rheumatic syndrome characterized by myalgia and multiple points of focal muscle tenderness to palpation (trigger points).
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...

The potassium level may be used as an early clue to the etiology of NAGMA (table below). This isn't 100% accurate , but may help point out the right direction. Will be more helpful if the potassium is markedly abnormal.
Failure to treat: NAGMA can generally be treated in a supportive fashion (e.g. with IV bicarbonate), even if the precise etiology is unknown. Patients with substantial acidosis should be treated while investigation is ongoing. Use of urine anion gap may be misleading.
It is controversial whether NAGMA requires treatment. Although NAGMA frequently correlates with poor outcomes, it's unclear to what extent it may cause harm. (3) Metabolic acidosis will increase the work of breathing (by triggering a compensatory respiratory alkalosis).
