What is Bicarbonate?

This test measures the level of bicarbonate in your blood, which is a form of carbon dioxide. Bicarbonate plays a vital role in maintaining your body's acid-base (pH) balance and is an important electrolyte.

Why is this test important?

It helps assess your body's acid-base balance, kidney function, and lung function. Abnormal levels can indicate conditions like kidney disease, lung disorders, or metabolic imbalances.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
