what does this lab value mean?

what does this lab value mean?I had some lab tests done.

I have a quite low anion gap. Everything else was okay except for a borderline low sodium.

What could this mean?

Answer by Affy007
Typical causes of a low anion gap
hypoalbuminemia, hypercalcemia, hyperkalemia, hypermagnesemia, lithium toxicity, multiple myeloma.

Important tip: Always consider other factors that may affect the calculated anion gap. A perfect example would be a patient with ethylene glycol toxicity and hypoalbuminemia. In this case, the patient may have a normal anion gap even though toxic levels of ethylene glycol are present.
