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 …

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 widespread use of ion-selective electrode causes the reference range of the anion gap
(AG) to be lowered from 8–16 to 3–11 mmol/l. The use of the outdated reference range (8 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

OBJECTIVE:: To compare the Anion gap between patients of multiple myeloma and normal
individuals presenting at a tertiary care hospital. DESIGN AND METHODS:: This is a …

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 …

Background: Conflicting data exist as to what extent hypoalbuminemia reduces the anion
gap; estimates range from 1.5 to 2.5 mM per g/dL decrease in serum albumin. Methods: We …
