Pruebas
An anion gap blood test gives a measurement of the acid-base balance (pH balance) in your blood. This lets you know whether your blood is too acidic or not acidic enough. The test also checks for an electrolyte imbalance in your blood. To do the measurement, an anion gap test uses the results of an electrolyte panel or other blood tests that measure your electrolytes.
For everyone & professionals
Technology
A method for collecting tandem mass spectrometry data where an ion of a particular mass is selected in the first stage and a fragmented ion product is selected in the second mass spectrometer stage for detection. Parallel reaction monitoring (PRM)-based experiments are generally performed in a high-resolution hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap (Q-OT) or time-of-flight mass spectrometer.

Technology
A method for collecting tandem mass spectrometry data where an ion of a particular mass is selected in the first stage and a fragmented ion product is selected in the second mass spectrometer stage for detection. Selected reaction monitoring (SRM)-based experiments are generally performed in a triple quadrupole (QqQ) mass spectrometer.
Diagnostic Methods
Pruebas
The determination of the amount of unmeasured anions (computed as sodium minus the chloride and bicarbonate) present in a sample.
For professionals
Indicadores
A chlorine anion that forms the negatively charged part of certain salts, including sodium and hydrogen chloride salts, and is an essential electrolyte located in all body fluids responsible for maintaining acid/base balance, transmitting nerve impulses and regulating fluid in and out of cells.
