Evaluation is with ABG and serum electrolytes. … Acid-base balance is most accurately assessed with measurement of pH and Pco 2 in an arterial blood sample. … The pH establishes the primary process (acidosis or alkalosis), although pH moves toward the normal range with compensation.
How do you identify an acid-base disorder?
Determine whether the acid-base abnormality has a metabolic or respiratory cause. You can make this determination by looking at the arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2). A high PaCO2 and a low pH indicate respiratory acidosis, whereas a high PaCO2 and a high pH indicate metabolic alkalosis.

What lab test is done for acid-base disorder?
To detect an acid-base disturbance, both a blood gas analysis and chemistry panel should be performed. This combines traditional blood gas analysis (Henderson-Hasselback equation) and the strong ion approach (by evaluating the contributions of electrolytes, in particular).
