Anion gap metabolic acidosis is a metabolic acidosis caused by high anion gap. Diuretics causes metabolic alkalosis and not acidosis.
Anion gap metabolic acidosis is caused majorly by the alcohol metabolism's oxidative pathway. Uremia, Ethylene Glycol, Methanol, and aspirin cause metabolic toxicity.
Uremia is increased in renal acidification, diuretics cause metabolic alkalosis, Ethylene Glycol, Methanol, and aspirin cause acidosis by increasing the toxicity.
Therefore, diuretics cause alkalosis.
