[@seymss15]

superb teaching Uncle Bob, I finally start to understand the labs more

[@TheRavsingh]

This is a great initiative. I love to decipher labs and would love to learn more !

Great video Uncle Bob !

Normal AG = Albumin * 2.5
Correct me if I am wrong UB.
I studied in Nephsim acid-base tweetorial

[@unremarkablelabs1942]

That's correct: Typo in the video.
Anion Gap Normalized for Patient's Albumin = Albumin * 2.5 to 3
It's not a precise science and most labs use Albumin of 4 as normal, so would recommend considering using Albumin * 3 = 12 for normal anion gap

We use the rule of thumb for A-a gradient: (Age/4)+4
Easy to remember!

Amazing. More please!
