In clinical chemistry, the urine anion gap is calculated using measured ions found in the urine.^[1] It is used to aid in the differential diagnosis of metabolic acidosis.^[2]

The term "anion gap" without qualification usually implies serum anion gap. The "urine anion gap" is a different measure, principally used to determine whether the kidneys are capable of appropriately acidifying urine.
