Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

This test is typically part of an electrolyte panel or a comprehensive metabolic panel. Abnormal CO2 levels can indicate respiratory issues, metabolic imbalances, or kidney function problems. Elevated levels may suggest conditions like respiratory acidosis or metabolic alkalosis, while low levels can indicate respiratory alkalosis or metabolic acidosis. Monitoring CO2 levels is essential for assessing overall health and guiding treatment for various medical conditions. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Test The Carbon Dioxide (CO2) test measures the level of CO2 in the blood, which is primarily in the form of bicarbonate. It is used to evaluate the balance between acids and bases in the body, playing a key role in maintaining pH levels and overall metabolic function.
