Lar, I see you answered with a link on buffering :)
It mentions anion gap.. back 3 years ago, before thyroid meds, my sodium, chloride and bicarbonate were low (below range)..and my anion gap was 20..also my lactate dehydrogenase was high ..345 (range 100-310). Also phosphate was 1.42 (just above range)Any ideas?
In last test lactate dehydrogenase was still dropping and had reached 141 which looks good..whatever it is? (No worries if noone has any ideas ..looks fine now anyway..I'm just trying to figure out what has been going on with me)Never tested anion gap since..but I did "fiddle" with salts intake/licorice(almost off) and managed to get sodium and potassium up..but Cl is now high, ..and phosphate is still high, but both in range.

Here's some of her replies..not much detail, but may give some ideas
