A member asked:

Is the anion gap test normally part of the comprehensive metabolic panel? i had many blood tests and i don't remember the anion gap being on them.

It's there: It's calculated from the sodium, potassium, bicarb and chloride. In this case, the lab did it to be helpful to the physician.
