A member asked:
Is an anion gap of 6 something to worry about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Why was the test done? What symptoms do you have? 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.
