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 …

The anion gap is a calculated parameter derived from the difference between the major
plasma cations and anions in serum/plasma or whole blood, with a widely used simple …

Objective.—To review limitations of the use of serum anion gap in clinical practice. Data

The anion gap in the serum is useful in the interpretation of acid-base disorders and in the
diagnosis of other conditions. In the early 1980s, ion-selective electrodes for specific ionic …

The serum anion gap, calculated from the electrolytes measured in the chemical laboratory,
is defined as the sum of serum chloride and bicarbonate concentrations subtracted from the …

• Using modern electrode technology (Beckman ASTRA analyzer), we evaluated the
reference range for the anion gap (calculated as sodium minus chloride minus bicarbonate …

The serum anion gap has been utilized to identify errors in the measurement of electrolytes,
to detect paraproteins, and, most relevant to the nephrologist, to evaluate patients with …

Purpose: This paper describes the calculation of the strong ion gap (SIG), a physical
chemical methodology similar to the anion gap (AG), as a measure of the anion/cation …
