During laboratory testing, HCO3 is converted to CO2. HCO3 is important in neutralizing acids.he normal value for CO2 in the blood is 23 to 29 mEq/L. Most of the carbon dioxide in the blood is in the form of bicarbonate. Either term can be used.
Below an hCG level of 1,200 mIU/ml the hCG usually doubles every 48â72 hours, though a rise of 50â60% is still considered normal. Between 1,200 and 6,000 mIU/ml serum the hCG usually takes 72â90 hours to double, and above 6,000 mIU/ml, the hCG often takes more than four days to double.
