Jun 12, 2016 · Anion gap formula: Na + – (Cl – + HCO 3 –) The anion gap (AG) is a derived variable primarily used for the evaluation of metabolic acidosis to determine the presence of unmeasured anions (e.g. albumin is the main unmeasured anion). The normal anion gap varies with different assays but is typically between 4 to 12 mmol/L. Causes of a high ...
In physiology, base excess and base deficit refer to an excess or deficit, respectively, in the amount of base present in the blood. The value is usually reported as a concentration in units of mEq/L (mmol/L), with positive numbers indicating an excess of base and negative a deficit.
Apr 11, 2018 · An easier diagnostic approach, which can replace the comprehensive partitioning calculations, is to evaluate the anion gap. Mixed acid–base disturbances occur...
Jul 10, 2023 · Introduction. Using the results of the comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), the anion gap is the difference between measured cations (positively charged ions like Na+ and K+) and measured anions (negatively charged ions like Cl- and HCO3-). There are three types: serum, plasma, and urine anion gaps.
