Bicarbonate

What is this test?
This test measures the amount of bicarbonate, a form of carbon dioxide, in your blood.

Bicarbonate, also known as HCO3, is a byproduct of your body’s metabolism. Your blood brings bicarbonate to your lungs, and then it is exhaled as carbon dioxide. Your kidneys also help regulate bicarbonate. Bicarbonate is excreted and reabsorbed by your kidneys. This regulates your body’s pH, or acid balance. Bicarbonate also works with sodium, potassium, and chloride. These substances are called electrolytes. These are often measured at the same time as bicarbonate.
