The Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Test is a blood test that measures the level of CO2 in the bloodstream. Abnormal CO2 levels in the blood may indicate the kidney and lungs may not be functioning properly. Measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous potentially serious disorders associated with changes in body acid-base balance.
A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
