Bicarbonate

The Bicarbonate assay evaluates the level of bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) in a venous blood sample, providing insight into the body's acid‑base status that may be associated with metabolic processes. This single‑marker test is performed on a standard blood draw and includes a £50 phlebotomy charge. Laboratory analysis yields a result typically within the standard turnaround time, and the outcome is presented in an electronic report. No fasting or special preparation is required. Ideal for individuals who want a focused assessment of their bicarbonate level, the test offers a straightforward way to monitor this aspect of metabolic health.
