Calculation and interpretation: The most common formula in adults is Anion Gap = Na+ − (Cl− + HCO3−), with
Limitations and clinical use: The anion gap is influenced by albumin levels, age, renal function, and measurement
Etymology and context: In Swedish medical terminology, the term is often referred to as anjonsskillnad or anionskillnad,
