What is an Anion Gap?
• Qualitative
• Quantitative
• Why not include H+ ?
K+ ?
What is an Anion Gap?
• Qualitative – unmeasured anions
• Quantitative - Na+ - Cl– - HCO3–
• Why not include H+ - too small
K+ - always ~ 4

What are the unmeasured anions?
Additional Rule
The HCO3 normally
falls 1 for every 1
increase in anion gap,
with the exception of
sepsis.
The Anions of Sepsis
• HPLC studies have failed to
identify the anions responsible
for the  AG in sepsis.
• Lactate accounts for a portion.
• H+ is likely from ATP hydrolysis
which drives the fall in
bicarbonate and is not coupled
to lactate production.
What Lowers Anion Gap?
• Hypoalbuminemia
• Lithium
• Myeloma
Example
• pH = 7.20, HCO3=10, PCO2=25
• Na=140, Cl=110

Urine Anion Gap
• UAG = Na+ + K+ - Cl• largely reflects NH4+ and therefore is
usually negative due to renal
ammoniagenesis
• In non-AG metabolic acidosis, a
negative UAG implies extra-renal
cause of the disorder.
• If positive, renal ammoniagenesis is
likely impaired.
Example
• pH = 7.35, HCO3=19, PCO2=35
• Na=140, Cl=100
Example
• pH = 7.35, HCO3=19, PCO2=35

• Na=140, Cl=104
Example
• pH = 7.40, HCO3=24, PCO2=40
• Na=140, Cl=104, albumin=1.1
Last rule!
• For every 1.0 g/dl that the serum
albumin is below 4.0, the upper
limit of the anion gap is
decreased by 2.5
• Normal upper limit = 12
• Alb 3.0 upper limit = 9.5
• Alb 2.0 upper limit = 7.0
• Alb 1.9 upper limit = 4.5
Example
• pH = 7.40, HCO3=24, PCO2=40
• Na=140, Cl=104, albumin=1.1
Example
• pH = 7.40, HCO3=24, PCO2=40

Dogmatic Statement
• You cannot interpret
arterial blood gases without
looking at the electrolytes.
