What Is an Anion Gap? The anion gap test measures anion gap (sometimes called serum anion gap) or how much acid is in your blood. Acid levels that are higher or lower than normal can tip your doctor ...

The anion gap blood test measures the acid-base and electrolyte balance in the blood. Results can show whether there is an imbalance in a person’s pH levels, which may be making the blood too acidic ...

An anion gap blood test measures the acid-base and electrolyte balance in the blood. A low anion gap is very rare and often results from a laboratory error, but it may indicate hypoalbuminemia, a ...

All solutions of dissolved salts contain equal numbers of dissociated positive and negative charges. This simple principle was used by the Boston physiologist James L Gamble as a means of analyzing ...

Background: In vitro data suggest that lower extracellular pH activates the immune system. We conducted a population-based study of the relation between serum acid–base status and inflammation.
