Tests
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.

An ANCA test looks for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in a sample of your blood. Antibodies are proteins that your immune system makes to fight foreign substances, such as viruses and bacteria. ANCAs, however, are autoantibodies, which are antibodies that attack your own healthy tissues and organs by mistake. This can lead to the development of an autoimmune disease .

A chloride blood test measures the amount of chloride in your blood. Chloride is a type of electrolyte. Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals that help control the amount of fluids and the balance of acids and bases (pH balance) in your body. You have electrolytes in your blood, urine, tissues, and other body fluids.
