The traditional anion gap [AG= Na–Cl–(total CO2)] mean value of 12 mEq/L was established
during the 1970s with analyzer methods that are no longer used widely. No studies have …

Background Anion gap (AG) aids the differential diagnosis of acid-base disorders. Its value
has decreased, because of new analytical methods. Our goal was to compare AG reference …

We wish to comment on reference intervals for the serum anion gap and osmolality. The
serum anion gap, which is most commonly defined as AG Na-Cl-TCO2, traditionally has had …

Background The anion gap (AG) is often used to evaluate acid–base disorders. The
reference interval for normal AG is used to differentiate between raised (gap) or normal AG …

The" anion gap" refers to the concentration of unmeasured anions in blood. The most
commonly used formula to measure this is [Na]—[C1]—[HCO3] and a typical reference …

Anion gap (AG) is a calculated value commonly used in clinical practice. It approximates the
difference between the concentration of unmeasured anions (UA) and unmeasured cations …

We report the incidence of normal (50.4%), increased (46.7%), and decreased (2.9%) anion
gap among hospitalized patients in a retrospective study. The mean and range of increased …

Background The anion gap is primarily used in the diagnosis of acid-base disorders. We
conducted a study to determine the anion gap reference interval in our patient population …

Background The purpose of this review is to provide a differential diagnosis for a low anion
gap. Methods We describe the anatomy of the anion gap. Also, we follow-up with a review of …
