A member asked:

What could be causing anion gap to always flag low at 3 mmol/l in my biannual labwork? everything else was normal except high wbc at 11.66 k/ul. my doctor changes every time i go in, so nobody addresses anything ever!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Any symptoms?: 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. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, if low anion gap is all that is of concern, do not be concerned. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
