  2. Anion gap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anion_gap

    Anion gap can be classified as either high, normal or, in rare cases, low. Laboratory errors need to be ruled out whenever anion gap calculations lead to results that do not fit the clinical picture. Methods used to determine the concentrations of some of the ions used to calculate the anion gap may be susceptible to very specific errors.

  3. Hypoalbuminemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoalbuminemia

    By itself, low albumin levels are associated with increased mortality rate in the general population. [8] In disease states specifically, hypoalbuminemia has been used a predictive factor for poor outcomes in a number of conditions, [3] including periprosthetic joint infection treatment failure, [13] and cirrhosis. [8]

  4. Metabolic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_acidosis

    Elevated protein (albumin, globulins) may theoretically increase the anion gap but high levels are not usually encountered clinically. Hypoalbuminaemia, which is frequently encountered clinically, will mask an anion gap. As a rule of thumb, a decrease in serum albumin by 1 G/L will decrease the anion gap by 0.25 mmol/L [citation needed]

  5. Base excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_excess

    The serum anion gap is useful for determining whether a base deficit is caused by addition of acid or loss of bicarbonate. Base deficit with elevated anion gap indicates addition of acid (e.g., ketoacidosis). Base deficit with normal anion gap indicates loss of bicarbonate (e.g., diarrhea).

  6. Delta ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Ratio

    Result 1: if there is a normal anion gap acidosis, the (AG – 12) part of the equation will be close to zero, the delta ratio will be close to zero and there is no mixed acid–base disorder. Your calculations can stop here. A normal anion gap acidosis (NAGMA) has more to do with a change in [Cl −] or [HCO − 3] concentrations.

    This is a rare disease that does cause red skin on the belly and, in some cases, has also presented with swollen lymph nodes. There are usually crusts, and dogs have a fever and loss of appetite ...

  8. Normal anion gap acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_anion_gap_acidosis

    Hyperparathyroidism – can cause hyperchloremia and increase renal bicarbonate loss, which may result in a normal anion gap metabolic acidosis. Patients with hyperparathyroidism may have a lower than normal pH, slightly decreased PaCO2 due to respiratory compensation, a decreased bicarbonate level, and a normal anion gap. [3]
