Anion Gap Calculator
Author: Claire Louise Price
Website: Acid-Base Tools Homepage
Overview
This web-based tool calculates the Anion Gap (AG) - a useful clinical measure to evaluate metabolic acidosis. Users input serum electrolyte levels (Na⁺, Cl⁻, and HCO₃⁻), and optionally, albumin levels to calculate a corrected AG. The calculator provides instant interpretation and educational context, including a clinical explanation and a quiz prompt.
Features
- Instant Anion Gap calculation from user-input sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate values.
- Corrected AG for albumin if provided.
- Displays:
- AG formula breakdown
- Interpretation of normal vs. elevated AG
- Quiz prompt for educational engagement
- Clinical relevance of findings
- Simple, clean, mobile-responsive layout.
Formulae
- AG = Na⁺ − (Cl⁻ + HCO₃⁻)
- Corrected AG = AG + 2.5 × (4.0 − Albumin)
Clinical Use
An elevated anion gap may indicate:
- Lactic acidosis
- Diabetic or alcoholic ketoacidosis
- Renal failure
- Ingestion of toxins (e.g., methanol, ethylene glycol)
Usage
- Open the HTML file in any modern browser.
- Enter the values for:
- Sodium (Na⁺)
- Chloride (Cl⁻)
- Bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻)
- Albumin (optional)
- Click Calculate Anion Gap to view the results and interpretation.
- Use the educational sections to reinforce learning.

The Anion Gap Calculator is a browser-based educational tool designed to evaluate metabolic acidosis
using standard serum electrolytes. It calculates the anion gap and corrected anion gap (if albumin is provided),
offering instant interpretation, clinical relevance, and interactive learning elements. Intended for healthcare
students, educators, and clinicians in training. For educational use only.
