Also reported in: mmol/L
Your base excess is within the normal range, indicating no significant metabolic acid or base excess in your blood. This is a good indicator of metabolic stability.
A very negative base excess (large base deficit) indicates a major accumulation of metabolic acid. This is seen in noticeable lactic acidosis (shock, sepsis), diabetic ketoacidosis, and poisoning.
This is a medical emergency. Immediate treatment of the underlying acidosis and supportive care in the ICU are required.
Base excess: {{value}} {{unit}} — critically low (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})A negative base excess (base deficit) indicates metabolic acidosis — there is an excess of acid or a deficit of base in the blood. The magnitude reflects the severity of the metabolic disturbance.
See your doctor. The cause of metabolic acidosis should be identified using the anion gap and clinical context.
Base excess: {{value}} {{unit}} — below reference range (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})A mildly negative base excess may reflect a subtle metabolic acidosis that is well-compensated.
Discuss with your doctor if persistent.
Base excess: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline lowYour base excess is within the normal range, indicating no significant metabolic acid or base excess in your blood. This is a good indicator of metabolic stability.
No action needed.
Base excess: {{value}} {{unit}} — within reference rangeYour base excess is very close to zero, reflecting perfectly balanced metabolic acid-base status.
No action needed.
Base excess: {{value}} {{unit}} — optimalA mildly positive base excess suggests a subtle metabolic alkalosis that may be compensated.
Discuss with your doctor if persistent.
Base excess: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline highA positive base excess indicates metabolic alkalosis — an excess of base (or loss of acid) in the blood. This is seen in vomiting, diuretic use, or volume depletion.
See your doctor. Determine the cause of the metabolic alkalosis for appropriate treatment.
Base excess: {{value}} {{unit}} — elevated (ref: {{low}}–{{high}})A very positive base excess indicates noticeable metabolic alkalosis, most commonly from extensive vomiting, aggressive diuresis, or mineralocorticoid excess.
Seek urgent medical care. ICU management may be needed for noticeable metabolic alkalosis.
