  2. Physiology: Measures unmeasured anions present in urine

  3. Calculation
    1. UAG = Urine Sodium + Urine Potassium - Urine Chloride
  4. Interpretation: Normal
    1. UAG = -10 to +10
  5. Interpretation
    1. Decreased Urine Anion Gap <-10
      1. Extrarenal Non-Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis
    2. Increased Urine Anion Gap >+10
