Rationale for change

Remove parenthesis to make the formula easier to read and to remember.

"Subtract the anions from the kation" is probably way most people think of this and not "Subtract the-sum-of-the-anions from the kation".

Rejection reason

Will keep formatting as is since that's how it's presented in FA 2024, UWorld, and AMBOSS

Text Text
Extra
- Na+, HCO3-, and Cl- are measured; non-measured anions must exist to maintain electroneutrality

- Average ~ 11-12 mEq/L
