Effect of hypercalcemia on the anion gap.

Abstract:

:It has been assumed, but not documented, that hypercalcemia induces an appreciable reduction in the serum anion gap (AG) because it represents an increase in the level of unmeasured cations. To test this question, we retrospectively compared the data of 59 hypercalcemic patients with malignancy [group 1, serum Ca 13.3 +/- SE 0.3 mg/dl] with those of 108 patients whose hypercalcemia was of parathyroid origin (group 2, serum Ca 12.1 +/- 0.1 mg/dl), and those of 51 control subjects (group 3, serum Ca 9.5 +/- 0.1 mg/dl). The AG of group 2 subjects (8.7 +/- 0.3 mEq/l) was significantly lower than that of the other two groups (p less than 0.001 for both) despite their higher serum albumin and lower serum Ca in comparison to group 1. The AGs of group 1 (11.1 +/- 0.4 mEq/l) and group 3 (11.1 +/- 0.3 mEq/l) were identical. There was no statistically significant correlation between the AG and serum Ca in the hypercalcemic patients. The major finding that the association of hypercalcemia with reduced AG is seen in hyperparathyroidism, but not in malignancy-related hypercalcemia, is not explained by differences in serum albumin, renal function, or acid-base status. Overlap of values between groups limits the diagnostic usefulness of the AG in an individual patient. Nevertheless, in the absence of multiple myeloma, the finding of an AG of 5 mEq/l or less in a hypercalcemic patient may be a helpful clue suggesting that malignancy is not the etiology.
