AN OVERVIEW
About Bicarbonate (HCo3) Test
Why is the Bicarbonate (HCo3) Test done?
The bicarbonate (HCo3), a form of carbon dioxide in the blood, is regulated in the body by the lungs and the kidneys. It is exhaled in the form of carbon dioxide from the lungs once it reaches the lungs through blood. Kidneys excrete the bicarbonate and then reabsorb it for maintaining a safe and appropriate acid or the pH balance of the body.
This test helps in the diagnosis of problems in the metabolic and respiratory systems of the body because of acid imbalances. The doctors generally ask for the Bicarbonate test to be done when an individual is having recurring vomiting or diarrhea, intense fatigue, or breathing issues.
What does the Bicarbonate (HCo3) Test measure?
The Bicarbonate (HCo3) Test measures the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood. Limited or excess quantities of bicarbonate in the blood may cause imbalances in the pH and the acid levels of the body and may result in the body suffering from diarrhea, vomiting, problems with the liver or kidneys, and anorexia.
The bicarbonate (HCo3) test helps in detecting any illness whether chronic or acute. It also helps in detecting an electrolyte imbalance in the blood. It also helps the doctors in understanding if the medicines are working for the treatment of any current imbalances in the body.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting the Bicarbonate (HCo3) Test results
Bicarbonate (Hco3) Test reveals the body’s ability to maintain an optimum acid-base level. If the bicarbonate levels in the body are in excess or inadequate, it would mean that the body is not able to maintain an optimum acid-base level. The reason could be the inability of the body to flush out the carbon dioxide from the body through the lungs or kidneys or it could mean that there is an electrolyte imbalance in the body.
The normal Bicarbonate (HCo3) levels in the body should be between 23 to 30 mEq/L in adults. mEq/L stands for milliequivalents per liter.
Levels more than 30 could be because of the following conditions:
- Dehydration in the body because of vomiting and diarrhea
- Anorexia
- Lung diseases
Levels less than 23 could be because of:
- Kidney diseases
- Too much acid in the body
- Lack of insulin in the body
- Overdose of aspirin
Thus, if the results of the Bicarbonate (HCo3) Test are above or below the normal range, you should visit a doctor to understand the reasons and take treatment for the cause.
