✔Ans = Other manifestations of metabolic acidosis reflect the underlying cause or trigger (e.g., diarrhea, DKA, drug ingestion). The diagnostic approach pivots on the measurement of serumelectrolytes, BUN, creatinine, and an ABG level. ... Assessment of the urinary anion gap (UAG) can also be helpful in diagnosis.

Answer 2

A low HCO3level can be caused by metabolic acidosis, a metabolic compensation of a respiratory alkalosis, or a laboratory error.
 BUN test is often part of a series of tests called a comprehensive metabolic panel, and can be used to help diagnose or monitor a kidney disease or disorder.
Your health care provider may order a BUN test as part of a routine check-up or if you have or are at risk for a kidney problem. Although early kidney disease usually does not have any signs or symptoms, certain factors can put you at a higher risk. These include:
Family history of kidney problems
diabetes
High blood pressure
Heart disease
