Calculate anionic gap in following example
Na 156 mmol
K 5.6 mmol
Urea 2.9 mmol
Cl 95 mmol/L
HCO3 10 mmol
What is your diagnosis?
ANSWER.
* Calculation of anion gap.
Formula = Na + K - (Cl + HCO3)
Here
Na = 156 mmol/l.
K = 5.6 mmol/l.
Cl = 95 mmol/l.
HCO3 = 10 mmol
As per above formula
Anion gap = 156 + 5.6 - (95+10).
= 161.6 - 105
= 56.6 mEq/L (High anion gap).
Normal range of anion gap = 12 - 16 mEq/L (When potassium included).
* Diagnosis : High anion gap metabolic acidosis.
(Presence of increased amount of acid in patients blood).

An 18-year-old female was taken to the emergency room in coma. Her parents noticed that she had polydipsia, polyuria, and rapid weight loss which started approximately 1 month ago and had worsened in the last week. She had not been taking any medications and the clinical history was otherwise unremarkable. On examination, breathing was deep and rapid (Kussmaul respiration), pulse rate was 100 beats per minute, and blood pressure 110/70 mmHg; she also had signs of dehydration. She was drowsy...
