3. Check the HCO3 (metabolic indicator) - less than 22 (acidosis) more than 26 (alkalosis)

Metabolic Acidosis: What happens to the pH/HCO3?
Depression (decrease) of HCO3 -- Decreased pH (acidosis)
Metabolic Alkalosis: What happens to the pH/HCO3?
Elevation (increase) of HCO3 -- Increased pH (alkalosis)
