Objectives: To show how hypoalbuminemia lowers the anion gap, which can mask a significant gap acidosis; and to derive a correction factor for it.Design: Observational study,Setting: Intensive care unit in a university-affiliated hospital.Subjects: Nine normal subjects and 152 critically ill patients (265 measurements).Interventions: None.Measurements and MainResults: Arterial blood samples analyzed for pH, PCO2, and concentrations of plasma electrolytes and proteins. Marked hypoalbuminemia was common among the critically ill patients: 49% of them had serum albumin concentration of
