Bicarbonate

 350

This test measures the amount of bicarbonate, a form of carbon dioxide, in your blood. Bicarbonate is also known as HCO3. It’s a byproduct of your body’s metabolism. Your blood brings bicarbonate to your lungs, and then it is exhaled as carbon dioxide.

In metabolic alkalosis there is excess of bicarbonate in the body fluids. It can occur in a variety of conditions. It may be due to digestive issues, like repeated vomiting, that disrupt the blood’s acid-base balance. It can also be due to complications of conditions affecting the heart, liver and kidneys
