A member asked:

Normal cbc, cmp & electrolytes. does this exclude acid/base problems such as metabolic acidosis or alkalosis??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sort of: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, just the fact that you are asking this question is sufficient to conclude that you do not have serious acid/base disorder.
