Extract: This report concerns two patients with primary renal tubular acidosis (RTA) in whom the abnormality in hydrogen excretion was shown to result from inappropriate urinary loss of bicarbonate ...

Sodium bicarbonate is an antacid medication that can help treat people with kidney disease who develop metabolic acidosis. Kidney disease, also known as “chronic kidney disease” (CKD), is a condition ...

This is the solution to a case we presented recently. You may review the case here. The patient had complained of dyspnea, and an abnormal electrolyte panel revealed a decreased bicarbonate level of ...

Sodium bicarbonate is an antacid medication that could treat metabolic acidosis in people with kidney disease. If a person has kidney disease, it may cause them to develop metabolic acidosis. This ...

A study of patients with ADPKD found that each 1 mmol/L decrease in serum bicarbonate was significantly associated with a 21% increased risk for worsening kidney function. Patients with autosomal ...

The kidneys play a central role in maintaining systemic acid–base homeostasis by finely regulating the reabsorption of bicarbonate and the secretion of protons along the renal tubules. Central to this ...

BUDAPEST, Hungary — Sodium bicarbonate — long used, albeit sporadically, to correct metabolic acidosis in chronic kidney disease — is significantly better at slowing disease progression than standard ...

Study Supports Use of SWL for Moderate-Sized Stones Metabolic acidosis was defined as serum bicarbonate values of 12 or higher but less than 22 mEq/L. The following article features coverage from the ...

Sodium bicarbonate treatment may not exactly protect patients from contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), the kidney injury resulting from an injection administered in order improve x-ray image. CIN ...

Bicarbonate is a form of carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas waste left when your body burns food for energy. Bicarbonate belongs to a group of electrolytes, which help keep your body hydrated and make sure ...

Only a few labs around the world rely on micro-perfusion techniques. Postdoctoral Scholar Gaaminepreet Singh is among a select group of researchers using this method, working alongside Case Western ...
