| Anion gap | High | Normal | Low |
Definition
- Metabolic acidosis is a state in which the blood pH is less than 7.35 due to increased production of H+ by the body or the inability of the body to form bicarbonate (HCO3-) in the kidney.
- Anion gap = [Na+] - [Cl-] - [HCO3-]
- Normal reference range for anion gap is between 8 and 16 meq/L.[1][2]
