Ok, I am a far cry from know what most of this means, but this is what I could find about Anion Gap. Apparently your Anion Gap is the ratio of positively charged ions to negatively charged ions in the body, which denoted blood alkalinity versus blood acidity.
The Anion Gap is decreased by free radical pathology due to overproduction of alkaloids.
My blood work shows “high” chloride and a/g ratio, along with an eGFR of 97. Is this a sign of kidney damage? Some search results say high chloride and a/g ratio can be dehydration. The eGFR seems a bit blurry, however. When I search eGFR of 97, I see kidney damage with normal function. GFR searches say average of 100 is normal. PLEASE HELP.
Potassium and Calcium and important electrolytes in muscles. Potassium is one of those electrolytes you dont really want to be messed up in your body. High potassium levels can cause heart dysrrhythmias, since your heart is a big muscle, Other signs of hyperkalemia(increased potassium) are nausea vomitting, restlessness, irritability, I am looking in my book right now to make sure i can give you the most accurate information. Chloride there is not much on.
cholesterol/hdl ratio, ldl cholesterol calc, hdl cholesterol, total cholesterol, serum phosphorus, serum chloride, serum potassium, serum sodium and bun/creatinine ratio all as high. Many other values and tests were given, but those are the ones that were flagged on the sheet. So not sure if this helps.
