About test
What does Potential of Hydrogen(pH)-Blood measure?
The blood pH test measures how acidic or alkaline the blood is. It may be used to assess the body’s acid-base balance and help evaluate conditions that can affect breathing, kidney function, metabolism, or severe illness. Healthcare professionals may order it when symptoms or other test findings suggest an imbalance in acids or bases. Results are interpreted along with other clinical information and laboratory tests.
