Calculate the Urine Anion Gap (UAG) to help identify the cause of metabolic acidosis and assess the kidney's ability to excrete ammonium. This simple calculator uses urine sodium, potassium, and chloride levels to provide crucial diagnostic insights quickly.
Formula:
The Urine Anion Gap (UAG) is calculated using the following formula:
UAG = (Urine Na+ + Urine K+) - Urine Cl-
Where:
- Urine Na+: Urine Sodium concentration (mEq/L)
- Urine K+: Urine Potassium concentration (mEq/L)
- Urine Cl-: Urine Chloride concentration (mEq/L)
