    This document provides a formula for calculating the corrected anion gap that accounts for serum albumin levels. The corrected anion gap is equal to the anion gap plus 0.25 times the difference of 44 minus the albumin level, and can help detect occult tissue anions in patients presenting with shock. The example calculation shows applying the formula to a patient with an initial anion gap of 26 and albumin of 2.5 g/dL, yielding a corrected anion gap of 30.75 mEq/L.
