A member asked:
My anion gap is low on my comprehensive metabolic lab panel today. what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, It may due to low sodium or high serum proteins. You should discuss it with the doctor who ordered the test. You may consult this site for info. http://www.medfriendly.com/anion-gap.html
