- Renal dysfunction was defined as a serum creatinine level of at least 2.0 mg/dl at the time at which the electrolytes were drawn. Acidosis category is described as the predominant anion associated with the metabolic acidosis. SIG, strong ion gap. Percentages are based on column totals. The sum of each row is less than the total n because of missing data (no contemporaneous creatinine).
