Is Serum Lactate Necessary in Patients with Normal Anion Gap and Serum Bicarbonate?
INTRODUCTION There has been an increase in patients having serum lactate drawn in emergency situations. The objective of this study was to determine whether or not it was necessary to obtain a lactate level in patients with a normal serum bicarbonate level and anion gap. METHODS This is a retrospective chart review evaluation of 304 patients who had serum lactate and electrolytes measured in ...
متن کاملSerum anion gap, bicarbonate and biomarkers of inflammation in healthy individuals in a national survey.
BACKGROUND In vitro data suggest that lower extracellular pH activates the immune system. We conducted a population-based study of the relation between serum acid-base status and inflammation. METHODS We examined the serum anion gap and serum levels of bicarbonate and inflammatory biomarkers in 4525 healthy adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey during...
متن کاملClinical Usefulness of the Serum Anion Gap
The anion gap in the serum is useful in the interpretation of acid-base disorders and in the diagnosis of other conditions. In the early 1980s, ion-selective electrodes for specific ionic species were introduced for the measurement of serum electrolytes. This new method has caused a shift of the anion gap from 12±4 mEq/L down 6±3 mEq/L. It is worthy for clinicians to understand the range of nor...
متن کاملLower serum bicarbonate and a higher anion gap are associated with lower cardiorespiratory fitness in young adults
Lower levels of serum bicarbonate and a higher anion gap have been associated with insulin resistance and hypertension in the general population. Whether these associations extend to other cardiovascular disease risk factors is unknown. To clarify this, we examined the association of serum bicarbonate and anion gap with cardiorespiratory fitness in 2714 adults aged 20-49 years in the 1999-2004 ...
متن کاملThe serum anion gap is altered in early kidney disease and associates with mortality
It is well known that uremia causes an increase in the serum anion gap (AG); however, whether changes in the AG occur earlier in the course of chronic kidney disease is not known. Here we investigated whether different measures of the AG, as a marker of kidney function, are associated with mortality. To do this, we analyzed the available laboratory data of 11,957 adults in the National Health a...
