urinary anion gap

urinary anion gap
the amount of urinary anion not routinely measured by laboratory screening, which accounts for the difference between the routinely measured anion and cation, equal to sodium + potassium − chloride. It is an indirect measure of ammonium excretion and is used in the evaluation of hyperchloremic acidosis.
