Had a blood test with high reading of carbon dioxide in blood, 31. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numbers are numbers: Numbers are just numbers, so the significance of them must be looked at in the context of a patient's real-life situation. The first thing a doctor considers is why somebody did a lab test, under what circumstances, and in association with what symptoms? Having a higher "carbon dioxide" in the blood means having more bicarbonate and less acid (less H+ ion), but there are many possible reasons.
