We can conclude that the biochemical bicarbonate analysis compared to that calculated from blood gas analysis in chronic renal patients was consistent. For greater concordance between the data, it is important that the time between the collection of the samples and the referral to the laboratory for carrying out the dosages does not exceed four hours. The serum bicarbonate dosage can result in cost savings when compared to that of bicarbonate in blood gas analysis.
