<prompt> In a 32yr old male presenting with the following blood chemistry Na - 135,K - 5.0, HCO3- - 14.0, Cl- - 116, PO4-- - 5.0, S04-- - 5.0, Mg - 2.0, Ca- 8.0 the anion gap is :20151310  <response>: Ans. is d ie 10 - then the anion gap would be - 5But 5 is not an option In all the books I have looked for i.e., Harrison, Nelson Ganong, Guyton, C.P.D.T., Cecil; anion gap is calculated in a similar way except for Bailey where anion gap is calculated as follows:Anion gap - Using this anion gap isequal to 140 - 130 10
