In hypercholaraemic acidosis how does chloride increase?

Hello everyone,

 

In metabolic acidosis, normal anion gap means cholride has increased causing hypercholaemic acidosis. My question is how can Chloride increase in metabolic acidosis, because in such a case chloride shift strongly favours chloride going inside the RBC, decreasing plasma chloride concentration. Thanks :)
