The value for the anion gap tells your healthcare provider something about which other charged particles must be in your blood to make it neutral.This
test gives clues about different types of acidosis, when your blood is too acidic.
It also tells your provider about alkalosis, when your blood is not acidic enough. High anion gap acidoses are most often due to ketoacidosis,lactic acidosis, chronic kidney disease,or certain(toxic ingestions).Normal anion gap acidoses are most often due to gastrointestinal or renal HCO3-loss.((INJECTION 222))
Well over half of the body's weight is made up of water.
Doctors think about the body's water as being restricted
to various spaces,called fluid compartments.The three main compartments are
1.Fluid within cells.
2.Fluid in the space around cells.
3.Blood.
To function normally,the body must keep fluid levels from varying too much in these areas.Electrolytes maintain the balance between fluids inside and outside your cells.They Play a role in conducting nervous impulses,contracting muscles, keeping you hydrated and regulating your body’s pH levels.The blood electrolytes sodium,potassium,chloride,and bicarbonate help regulate nerve and muscle function and maintain acid-base balance and water balance.The right concentrations(called electrolyte balance)is important in maintaining fluid balance among the compartments.Ketones upset the chemical balance of your blood and,if left untreated,can poison the body.High ketone levels make your
blood too acidic.This is a serious condition called ketoacidosis.
Note.Fasting results in increased ketone production.(fasting)
