Electrolyte Panel Calculator
Calculate anion gap, BUN/creatinine ratio, and serum osmolality from a basic metabolic panel (BMP) for electrolyte assessment.

Results
Anion Gap
14 mEq/L (normal 8-12)
BUN/Creatinine Ratio
15 (normal 10-20)
Calculated Osmolality290.9 mOsm/kg (normal 275-295)
Osmolal Gap0 mOsm/kg (compare to measured)
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter serum sodium (mEq/L), potassium (mEq/L), chloride (mEq/L), and bicarbonate (mEq/L).
- Review the calculated anion gap: AG = Na - (Cl + HCO3); normal = 8-12 mEq/L.
- If AG is elevated, note the delta gap and possible corrected bicarbonate.
- Check each value against the reference range for critical value alerts.
- Correlate electrolyte abnormalities with patient medications, hydration status, and clinical picture.
