Our kidneys normally maintain acid-base balance by removing acid and reabsorbing bicarbonate. In CKD, this function declines, ...

Background: In vitro data suggest that lower extracellular pH activates the immune system. We conducted a population-based study of the relation between serum acid–base status and inflammation.

Dec. 30, 2003 — Topiramate (Topamax) causes hyperchloremic, non-anion gap metabolic acidosis (decreased serum bicarbonate), Ortho-McNeil warned healthcare professionals in a letter mailed this ...

Increases in serum bicarbonate, even at a small level, correlated with reduced risk of graft loss, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events and hospitalization, according to data published in ...

Serum bicarbonate was not independently associated with renal or cardiovascular endpoints among a cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy, according to research presented at the ...

As an antacid, sodium bicarbonate helps reduce excess acid levels in the body and keeps serum bicarbonate levels within the average range, which can help prevent more severe metabolic acidosis and ...

Serum Bicarbonate Tied to CKD Progression — Another use for multivariate risk equations by Kristen Monaco , Staff Writer, MedPage Today April 13, 2018 ...

KEY POINTS. Hypertriglyceridemia can lead to a substantial discordance in measured (TCO 2) and calculated (HCO 3) serum bicarbonate levels on serum electrolyte testing and blood gases, respectively..

Increasing serum bicarbonate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are associated with a reduced risk for disease progression, new study findings suggest.

Because both arterial pH values and serum bicarbonate concentrations are measures of the degree of acidosis and thus are collinear, we included only the latter in the main multivariate analysis.
