The Anion Gap is an approximate measurement of ions, that is molecules with a charge, either negative or positive. Sodium and potassium are positively charged and therefore called cations; this is why they are often represented as Na+ and K+ respectively.

Normal range: 8 to 16 meq/L ; Anion gap = [Na+] - [Cl-] - [HCO3-] or alternative formula: AG = [Na+] + [K+] - [Cl-] - [HCO3-]. The anion gap can be used to help identify the cause of metabolic acidosis.

Anion gap (AG or AGAP) is a value calculated using the results of an electrolyte panel. It is used to help distinguish between anion-gap and non-anion-gap metabolic acidosis. Acidosis refers to an excess of acid in the body;
