Queries about this test
- Ans: The bicarbonate test is also known as a total CO2 (carbon dioxide) test or HCO3- (bicarbonate ion) test. It provides valuable information about how well your kidneys and lungs are functioning since these organs play a vital role in maintaining proper acid-base balance.
- Ans: The range typically falls between 22 and 28 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L). However, it's important to note that these values can vary slightly depending on the laboratory conducting the test.
- Ans: One possible cause of high bicarbonate levels is respiratory alkalosis. This occurs when there is excessive breathing, leading to a decrease in carbon dioxide levels and an increase in bicarbonate levels.
