Description:

Bicarbonate Urine Test (Quest)

This test measures the level of Bicarbonate in the urine.  Bicarbonate is a form of carbon dioxide.  The kidneys excrete and reabsorb bicarbonate as part of the process of maintaining the body's pH balance.  Abnormal bicarbonate levels can be a sign that the kidneys are not functioning properly.

Results from a bicarbonate urine test can aid in identifying Metabolic Acidosis, a condition in which too much acid is building up in the body due to kidney dysfunction.  

This test may be ordered as a follow-up to abnormal results from a complete urinalysis test, particularly an irregular pH level.

Turnaround for this test is typically 8-12 business days, barring any delays.
