Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) continue to produce endogenous acids but have
a reduction in net acid excretion, resulting in a primary decrease in serum bicarbonate …

Metabolic acidosis is a common complication of chronic kidney disease and is believed to
contribute to a number of sequelae, including bone disease, altered protein metabolism …

Background: Acid–base assessments in hemodialysis patients have been limited almost
entirely to measurements of total CO2 concentration, and assumptions have been made …

Metabolic acidosis is an important cause of protein-energy wasting, commonly observed in
chronic kidney disease (CKD). This wasting is, in part, a result of the imbalance between …

Background: Correction of metabolic acidosis in dialysis patients should be considered of
paramount importance. However, consuming sodium bicarbonate tablets during the …

Metabolic acidosis is a common complication of chronic kidney disease. Accumulating

Maintenance of normal acid-base homeostasis is one of the most important kidney functions.
In chronic kidney disease, the capacity of the kidneys to excrete the daily acid load as …

Detection and management of acid-base disorders in patients with end-stage renal disease
presents a special challenge. In these patients, one indicator of acid-base status, serum …
