A member asked:
Are anion gap and alk phos levels inversely proportional, since one indicates alkaline and the other acid?my panel: alk phos jan 32/jun 39, anion 5/7.

No correlation: In normal homeostasis positively charged cation and negatively charged anions will be equal to maintain neutrality ' milieu internum ' ( internal environment ) in certain conditions like metabolic alkalosis apparent gap appears as charged proteins , phosphates etc not counted . Alkaline phosphate is an enzyme which has a different roll

No: These are totally unrelated lab tests and look at completely different aspect of your body's chemistry.
