Q

[HCO2-]

A

bicarbonate ion concentration in mEq/L The bicarbonate ion is the most important base in the body. The amount of HCO2- in the blood is expressed in mEq/L and is regulated by the kidneys. The kidneys regulate [HCO2-] by increasing or decreasing the resorption of HCO2- in the renal tubule. The HCO2- is the metabolic component of the acid-base balance, The normal [HCO2-] is maintained between 22-26mEq/L with a mean of 24 mEq/L.
