The anion gap is a calculation and while you may be on to something, the anion gap varies frequently. It is also used as an indication that the instrument may not be holding its calibration. I work in a clinical lab in a hospital and the usual anion gaps are between 5 and 15. Even these ranges vary between labs.
So I had fasting blood work last week, and it showed a low-moderate level of acidosis (anion gap = 19.9). I have other fasting blood work that shows my anion gap as high. So I decided to alkalyze... I stopped eating kefir and cut down on decaf, and am substituting more alkaline forming foods...
A D-Lactic assay if suspected can be performed by your local Microbiology (if they cannot do this they must separate out the plasma within one hour of taking the blood, possibly freezing it, and send it to somewhere that can run this test. Or Blood Gasses including anion gap should be performed if your daughter is extremely unwell or has ...
Your anion gap is within range, you tolerate it fine and you don't sound like you've had acidosis symptoms. EDIT: I can see anion gap is related to potassium, sodium, chloride, etc. To get my extra sodium in, I am supplementing sodium chloride which is 60% chloride and 40% sodium approx. Will this help me keep the anion gap in the right intervals?
Electrolytes are fine, including magnesium. CBC has been abnormal the last 3 times. Red blood cells and RDW% below range, MCV and MCH above range. Hemoglobin and hematocrit were low end of normal. MCHC was high end of normal. Serum B12 was mid-range, serum folate was low-normal. Homocysteine and methylmalonic acid were mid-range.
Lactate and pyruvate pathology tests: Lactic acidosis can be indirectly analysed by an increase in the anion gap (blood concentration of sodium minus those of chloride plus bicarbonate). Lactate can also be directly measured in the blood in most pathology labs. Blood pyruvate can also be directly measured in many path labs .
Hey guys, So since i suspect there is something really bad (Autoimmune Enzephalitis) going on in my brain since i crashed some weeks ago my neurological symptoms escalated and i need advice from people who may had the same experience. One of the worst symptoms i cant find anything about is...
Welcome to Phoenix Rising! Created in 2008, Phoenix Rising is the largest and oldest forum dedicated to furthering the understanding of, and finding treatments for, complex chronic illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, long COVID, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and allied diseases.
But quite a bit turned out to be hogwash. This is from Great Plains Laboratory: "The Organic Acids Test (OAT) offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with over 70 markers. It provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast and bacteria.
Messages. 3,156. sometexan84 said: Test for phospholipid antibodies. Anti-cardiolipin antibodies were found in 95% of ME/CFS patients. Test for beta-2 glycoprotein 1 antibodies as well, and probably phosphatidylserine antibodies, and lupus coagulant. Anyone w/ ME/CFS that has blood pooling, and/or POTS, hypotension, numbness, vision issues, or ...
