A-a gradient (Alveolar to arterial gradient) ... A-a gradient (Alveolar to arterial gradient): Provides an assessment of alveolar-capillary gas exchange. To calculate you need the alveolar PO2 (PAO2) and arterial pO2 (paO2). The larger the gradient, the more serious the respiratory compromise.

Arterial Alveolar Gradient; There are times when the primary question to be answered from the blood gases is: are the lungs normal? Yet the values of oxygen and carbon dioxide, taken alone, can be misleading. ... Calculation of the arterial-alveolar (Aa) gradient shows that no significant pulmonary problem is present.
