Why and When is a Bicarbonate (HCO3) Test Done?
The human body is a dynamic system with many biochemical reactions taking place at the same time. Acidic and alkaline ions coordinate to maintain the proper pH for these reactions to occur.
Bicarbonate is an essential buffering agent that aids in maintaining the body's pH. If the body is affected by higher levels of acidic ions, the bicarbonate ions compensate by increasing their levels.
The Bicarbonate (HCO3) test aids in detecting acid-base imbalance and monitoring health issues like hypertension and kidney disorders. It also aids in the assessment of treatment progress for electrolyte imbalance.
