Administration of chloride containing solutions causes hyperchloraemic metabolic acidosis. Acid (salicylate) ingestion results in metabolic acidosis. Biguanides may cause lactic acidosis especially in renal impairment. Citrate in stored blood results in alkalosis. Acetazolamide reduces HCO3 formation and H+ excretion resulting in metabolic acidosis.
