Delta Ratio Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Delta Ratio.
DLR = AG / BG
- Where DLR is the Delta Ratio
- AG is the change in anion gap
- BG is the change in bicarbonate gap
How to Calculate Delta Ratio?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Delta Ratio.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the change in anion gap.
- The change in anion gap is given as: 43.
- Next, determine the change in bicarbonate gap.
- The change in bicarbonate gap is provided as: 50.
- Finally, calculate the Delta Ratio using the equation above:
DLR = AG / BG
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
DLR = 43 / 50 = .86
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
change in anion gap = 70
change in bicarbonate gap = 300
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.
DLR = AG / BG = ?
