About test
What does BICARBONATE measure?
This test measures bicarbonate, an electrolyte that helps maintain the body’s acid-base balance. It may be used to assess how the body is regulating acidity and alkalinity, including in conditions that can affect the kidneys, lungs, metabolism, or fluid balance. Bicarbonate results are usually interpreted along with other electrolyte and clinical findings.
