Anion gap

An anion gap test checks the levels of acid in your blood. Learn about the conditions that the test results can reveal, and what a high/low test result may indicate.

A step-by-step guide to using a formula to find anion gap The body naturally strives for balance and equilibrium. When extra H ions or acids are released, the body suffers from a condition referred to as metabolic acidosis. This increases...

Let us warm up with Some question first! Anion gap and ABG scenarios are commonly asked in OSCE examinations. This post is focused on understanding Anion gap in detail and bedside approach to anion gap. Let us start with few OSCE questions to warm up and t…

Anion gap = Difference between the unmeasured cations and unmeasured anions in the serum [artificial] It will done with serum (has clotting factor removed) or with plasma [MOST OFTEN DONE WITH SERUM] = ([Na+]) − ([Cl−] + [HCO3−]) = 10 , if greater than 12, IAGMA (when K+ is added, it is ~16) *You can […]

The Anion Gap (AG) is a derived variable primarily used for the evaluation of metabolic acidosis to determine the presence of unmeasured anions

High Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis Pathogenesis

@Juniper Publishers For more than 40 years clinicians have used the anion gap (AG) as a major tool to evaluate acid-base disorders. A positive value of the AG suggests a possible organic acidosis due to endogenous acids or the intake of exogenous acids [1]. Although the concept of the AG was described in 1936 by James Gamble #Juniper Publishers.

This page graphically describes the behaviour of bicarbonate in the face of a decreasing strong ion difference. Generally speaking, the "classical" explanation of normal anion gap metabolic acidosis has always been somewhat unsatisfying. The textbooks have called it "hyperchloraemic" acidosis, and have discussed it in terms of bicarbonate loss as the chief problem. In this fashion, the acidosis which accompanied normal saline administration was described as "dilutional". The main disturbance…

anion gap = sodium - (bicarb plus chloride) + 2.5(4-albumin) to correct for hypoalb. Increased in MUD PILES = methanol, uremia, DKA, paraldehyde, lactic acidosis, ethylene glycol, salicylate.
