AB  - Metabolic  acidemia  is  a  common  laboratory  finding,  and  most  cases  are  caused  by  conditions  such  as  hypovolemia,  systemic  infection,  and  acute  diarrhea.  The  challenge  for  the  physician  is  to  confirm  that  the  acidemia  has  a  presentation,  history,  and  response  to  treatment  that  are  consistent  with  one  of  these  common  illnesses  rather  than  an  alternate  heritable  or  acquired  disorder  predisposing  to  acidemia.  Specifically,  a  number  of  inborn  errors  of  metabolism  present  with  severe  metabolic  acidemia.  This  chapter  presents  a  set  of  principles  by  which  clinicians  can  recognize  signs  and  symptoms  of  severe  metabolic  acidemia,  treat  severe  acidemia  if  needed,  and  broaden  the  differential  diagnosis  when  an  acidemia  is  not  adequately  explained  by  the  clinical  presentation  and  laboratory  workup.
