Information about Bicarbonate

Bicarbonate Blood Test for Acid-Base Balance and Metabolic Health

Standard bicarbonate (B-) is used in healthcare to assess the body's acid-base balance and the metabolic component of blood pH regulation. Bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) acts as a natural buffer that helps stabilize the acidity of the blood by neutralizing excess hydrogen ions. Proper acid-base balance is essential for a variety of bodily functions, including the regulation of the kidneys, lungs, and metabolism.

Screening test for assessing the metabolic component to identify and evaluate acid-base disorders, such as metabolic acidosis and metabolic alkalosis, which can occur in diseases affecting the kidneys, respiration, and electrolyte balance. By analyzing B-Standard Bicarbonate, one can gain insights into the body's ability to handle metabolic changes and detect imbalances in time.

An analysis of B-Standard Bicarbonate may be relevant for people who want to gain a better understanding of their metabolism and acid-base balance. It may be especially useful for you who:

  • Experience chronic fatigue, dizziness or weakness: These symptoms may be linked to imbalances in the body's pH regulation, which affects metabolism and energy levels.
  • Have kidney or lung-related diseases: Bicarbonate levels can be affected by kidney failure, lung diseases or conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where the acid-base balance is disrupted.
  • Have diabetes or suspected acid-base disorders: People with diabetes are at risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, a condition in which the blood becomes too acidic due to a build-up of ketones.
  • Being treated with diuretics or other medications: Some medications can affect the body's electrolyte balance and bicarbonate levels, making regular monitoring important.
  • Have long-term Gastrointestinal problems: Severe diarrhea or vomiting can lead to disturbances in bicarbonate levels, which affects the body's fluid balance and pH.

A B-standard bicarbonate analysis gives you more information about your body's internal balance and can contribute to a deeper understanding of your health. Maintaining the right acid-base level is crucial for everything from kidney function and respiration to cellular energy metabolism.

Standard bicarbonate (B-) is an important biomarker used to assess the body's acid-base balance and identify metabolic disorders. It is part of the blood gas analysis and can help differentiate between metabolic and respiratory influences on pH balance. By measuring standard bicarbonate, healthcare professionals can obtain valuable information about conditions such as metabolic acidosis and alkalosis, which is crucial in the investigation of kidney and metabolic diseases.
