Increased anion gap acidosis The older mnemonic is MUDPIES: M : methanol U : uremia D : diabetes P : paraldehyde I : idiopathic (lactic acidosis) E : ethylene glycol S : salicylates and a newer one called DULSI: D : diabetic ketoacidosis U : uremia L : lactic acidosis S : salicylate poisoning I : intoxicants (methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol)
