ANION GAP | Ridiculously simple

A follow up video to my arterial blood gas video. It was honestly a really confusing topic for me in med school. I've made it as simple as possible with easy to understand illustrations and examples!
PS: For an HD illustrative experience watch in 1080p!

Note : A LOW ANION GAP is very rare. If an electrolyte test shows a low anion gap, a doctor will usually order a second test, as the results may be due to a laboratory error.
Hypoalbuminemia is one of the major causes of low anion gap.
Hypoalbuminemia is when a person has too little albumin in their blood. Albumin is an essential protein.
Hypoalbuminemia usually occurs because of inflammation in the body.
Causes of hypoalbuminemia include:
* sepsis
* recent surgery
* Malnutrition
* severe burns
* liver or kidney disease
Hypoalbuminemia is also considered a contributing factor to having a low anion gap in people with multiple myeloma.

it's almost 2am and I had been having a small mental breakdown over this topic for my final in pathophysiology the day after tomorrow ... this video literally SAVED me rn! I acutally, finally understood what this was all about! Thank you <3

oh my god! I am a surgical resident in the third year and I never understood this topic, ever.
from med school till this day.

today I finally understood it.

thanks.

It's explicitly clear and simplified.
Thanks a lot.

Bravo! Excellent content! Easy to understand & brief enough to hit the major concept! CINCH BY THE INCH-HARD BY THE YARD

[basimjoseph]

This was great... Had problem understanding this for long time...appreciate it <3

[ernestenyan]

This is awesome….thanks for making it easy to understand

[danielcortes]

excellent video. Constructive criticism, your equation should be written with parenthesis as follows NA - (HCO3 + Cl) = 0 without it, the result is different
great video again

[AnicaSuki]

you are so talented teaching! you made such a difference on my study! thank you so much and keep creating please !

[caioplays]

I love you, you help me a lot in my biochemistry test! Thank you so much

[justinfarmer]

Great video! One thing to mention however is the formula should be Na (+K) - Cl - HCO3... or ... Na (+K) - (Cl + HCO3). Basically, you have to Subtract the amount of chloride AND bicarb from the amount of sodium.
