The case: A 65-year-old man was found in a state of clouded consciousness of unknown duration. At hospital his Glasgow Coma Scale score was 9. Naloxone and thiamine were administered. A CT head scan ...

An anion gap is detectable in urine, plasma, or blood. This article focuses on the blood test, also known as the serum anion gap test. It investigates why doctors do the test, what to expect, and ...

The anion gap was 41. The plasma osmolarity was 314 mOsm/L. The plasma lactate was 25.9 mmol/L. The plasma pH was less than 6.8. His urine drug screen was negative for illicit drugs or ethanol.

The plasma concentration of sodium ions normally exceeds the sum of the plasma concentrations of chloride and bicarbonate ions. Calculation of the resulting 'anion gap' can aid the diagnosis of ...

A low anion gap result on a blood test is often a technical error, though it can stem from a health issue. Here, learn what low and high anion gap results mean.

Hyperchloremic, Normal Anion-Gap, Metabolic Acidosis Due to Topiramate. Kathryn D. Mathews, PharmD; Jennifer E. Stark, ... The patient was taking all other medications for more than 1 year.

Results. The following mean values were all within normal limits: serum anion gap 11.6 mmol/L, bicarbonate level 24.2 mmol/L, leukocyte count 7.2 × 10 9 /L, C-reactive protein level 26.0 nmol/L, ...

Serum anion gap and its interaction with diabetes in predicting mortality among critically ill patients with non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, European Journal of Medical Research, 30, 1 ...

The normal anion gap can be adjusted for hypoalbuminemia by allowing for 2.5 mmol per liter of negative charge for each 1 g per deciliter of albumin concentration. 13 The relative change in the ...

[13,14,15,16,17,18] An investigational study has linked topiramate's inhibition of carbonate dehydratase to its ability to cause hyperchloremic, normal anion-gap, metabolic acidosis secondary to ...
