Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis

Many people use the good old MUDPILES mnemonic, but I found one that I like more, that's more inclusive:

"CUTE DIMPLES"

Cyanide
Uremia
Toluene
Ethanol

Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Isoniazid and Iron
Methanol
Propylene Glycol, Phenformin, Paraldehyde (the last 2 aren't really used anymore)
Lactic Acidosis
Ethylene Glycol
Salicylates
