A member asked:
Why do i always get a low anion gap test score? what is the cause of low anion gap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low anion gap is only significant when it is less than 3. In general, low anion gap is not as common and significant as high anion gap. If your AG is less than 3, we need other blood chemistry results in order to give a correct answer. Take care.
