Delta gap
Anion gap minus 12 – rise in the anion gap relative to the reference value and comparison with the bicarbonate decrease
Scientific basis
Reference range of your own laboratory
Anion gap and delta ratio depend on the measurement method for sodium and chloride. The reference values used here (AG 12, HCO₃⁻ 24) are conventions of the cited papers; your own laboratory's reference range takes precedence.
