Na+ + Unmeasured cations = Cl- + HCO3
- + Unmeasured anions
Or, Unmeasured anions – Unmeasured cations = Na+ - (Cl- + HCO3
-)
Anion Gap = Na+ - (Cl- + HCO3
-)
Definition
Anion gap is Quantity of anions not balanced by cations
- usually due to the NEGATIVELY CHARGED PLASMA PROTEINS as the charges
of the other unmeasured cations and anions tend to balance out.

secretion

– Cortical Collecting tubule – H+ secretion coupled with Na+

– Medullary Collecting tubule – H+ secretion independent of
