What is a normal anion gap range?

a. 3 to 5 mEq/L
b. 6 to 8 mEq/L
c. 9 to 14 mEq/L
d. 24 to 26 mEq/L


ANS: C
A value of 140 mEq/L for Na+, 105 mEq/L for Cl−, and 24 mEq/L for HCO3–, yielding an anion gap of 11 mEq/L (140 mEq/L – [105 mEq/L + 24 mEq/L] = 11 mEq/L). The normal anion gap range is 9 to 14 mEq/L.
