Book a Test- Bicarbonate (HCO3) - Serum

Bicarbonate (HCO3) - Serum is a blood test that measures the level of bicarbonate ions in the blood. Bicarbonate is an essential electrolyte that helps regulate the body's acid-base balance. It is produced by the kidneys and plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's pH levels. The bicarbonate test is used to diagnose and monitor conditions that affect the body's acid-base balance. A normal bicarbonate level ranges from 22 to 28 mmol/L. Abnormal levels can indicate an underlying condition that requires medical attention. The bicarbonate test is often performed in conjunction with other blood tests to provide a comprehensive picture of the body's acid-base status. By analyzing the bicarbonate level, healthcare professionals can gain a better understanding of the body's overall health and make informed decisions about treatment.
