may cause acid–base disorders, as shown in Table 2. A positive value for the urinary net charge gap indicates excretion of an unmeasured anion. The lost, unmeasured anion may be bicarbonate or ...

This simple principle was used by the Boston physiologist James L Gamble as a means of analyzing clinical electrolyte and acid–base ... for the anion gap assumes that all the 'unmeasured ...

The fifth step in the evaluation of an acid–base disturbance is to note the serum osmolal gap in any patient with an unexplained high anion-gap acidosis, coma, or suspicion of ingestion of a ...

Describes acid-base physiology and discusses the diagnosis ... Calculation of the plasma anion gap is particularly useful in identifying the specific cause of metabolic acidosis and in narrowing ...

We conducted a population-based study of the relation between serum acid–base status and inflammation. Methods: We examined the serum anion gap and serum levels of bicarbonate and inflammatory ...
