My doctor had the same demeanor. I also had a high potasium level and he had me get another blood test that day. It proved to be normal. No one really cared about the anion gap number but when I go back in January and if it is low, I will bring this up again.

My doctors are hard to read...sometimes.

Hi Cindy. I had an appt. with my Doctor on Sept. 18. I still don't know why I have bone pain & nephropathy. She STILL REFUSED TO DO A RE-CHECK! She said that frequent "Blood work" causes stress. I AM CHANGING DOCTORS! She actually told me that I don't have cancer (Multiple Meyloma) and how she can help me get that idea out of my head. No blood tests to back this up!!!!!!!!!!! She is a 4th year Resident. I was assigned her because my clinic is a teaching clinic.* The reason I am worried IS because MM is related to a LOW Anion Gap.
I am calling my Clinic tomorrow and getting a new Doctor with more years of experience. I mean, I pray I am OK, but, well, I am worried & she knows it. I feel like a poodle in a pink skirt jumping through the flaming hoop. I am glad Cindy your potassium was ok. ~
