serum potassium is lethal. With [K+] in the equation the normal anion gap is approximately 12, and without [K+] in the equation it is approximately 8. If there is an increase in unmeasured cations, the anion gap will be increased. If there is an increase in unmeasured anions, the anion gap will be decreased. The [K+] may be excluded from the calculation because wide variation in serum potassium is lethal.
