    In the last 6 years, 6 of 8 anion test have come back low (4's and 6's). Over the same time period, chloride has been normal, wbc trend low end of normal, rbc trend high end of normal, and both total protein and albumin are middle of normal. I'm in generally good health but overweight, prediabetic, and a history of kidney stones. Should I be concerned?

    Fantastic video! Isn’t medicine beautiful? Everything in medicine has an explanation.

    Question (27M) - I have an anion gap of 2 - Chloride is 109 - normal albumin - Is this worth investigating?
    Platelets have been steadily dropping since 2019.

      A published review found that out of 67,000 calculations of anion gap, a low anion gap was calculated less than 1 percent of the time. Within this small percentage, *_over 90 percent of the results were due to laboratory error in calculating one of the electrolyte values._*

      So settle down.

    This is a very interesting video but the details are conveyed way too fast. I'd love to have your script, so I could read and comprehend the information at my pace. Thanks for posting just the same. Bob T.

    Great and Dandy I think I got it, is that the cure for cancer?

    But why the increased M-protien ( which is a cation ) is not added to the equation of unmeasured anion (WHICH INCLUDES DECREASED ALBUMIN) - Unmeasured cation ?

    Anion Gap is 2, chloride is 109, and WBC is 4.5 (has been decreasing for 8 months). Your video answered some questions and now wondering if multiple myeloma is a possibility

      Probably you should ask your doctor. When you do, please let us know.

      Albumin was low as well, doc doesn't think there is a problem.

      Mine the same you does your doctor told you anything? Can you share

    So my anion gap was a 4 which according to the chart on my results is low. My albumin was normal range but I can remember what it was. Would albumin be low if mm was causing the anion gap to be low?

    First i liked video and then start to watch the video, because i know video will be awesome as always........

    But if that's the case chloride is being used so not increasing burr decreasing

    I had on my urine test abnormal below average anion, could that mean that I could have the disease multiple Myeloma? How can you test for this?

      This video is about the serum anion gap. Urine anion gap is a different concept.

    So i have normal albumin level but zero anion gap no diagnosis anyone can help

      Also, maybe you could see a doctor and ask them if you have questions about your lab values. That could probably be at least as helpful as asking random people for medical advice in the TH-cam comments. Just saying.

    My anion gap is 4. Am I dead?
