Frequently Asked Questions
The anion gap is a calculated value that helps differentiate types of metabolic acidosis. It represents the difference between measured cations (sodium) and measured anions (chloride and bicarbonate).
The normal anion gap is typically 3-11 mEq/L, but reference ranges may vary slightly by laboratory.
A high anion gap (>11 mEq/L) suggests the presence of unmeasured anions, often due to metabolic acidosis from conditions like diabetic ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, or uremia.
