Blood has a lot of CationsBlood has a lot of AnionsTotal charge of Anions = Total Charge of CationsSoNa + K + Unmeasured Cations = HCO3 + Cl + unmeasured AnionsRearrangingNa + K - (HCO3 + Cl) = Unmeasured Anions - Unmeasured CationsAnion Gap = Unmeasured Anions - Unmeasured CationsAnion Gap = (Na + K) - (HCO3 + Cl)Note that some books ignore the value of Calcium and calculate … [Read more...] about Anion Gap HAGMA LAGMA and NAGMA !!!
