Effect of oral sodium bicarbonate supplementation on progression of chronic kidney disease in patients with chronic metabolic acidosis: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (SoBic-Study)

" the intervention of exogenous bicarbonate supplementation to substitute the lacking endogenous bicarbonate would appear to be rational"

BOOM!

In line with the aforementioned studies, we assume that a sufficiently balanced acid–base status leads to a reduction in the decline of renal function in patients with CKD. Bicarbonate is necessary to counterbalance acid net production arising from protein metabolism and acid-rich diets. Thus, the intervention of exogenous bicarbonate supplementation to substitute the lacking endogenous bicarbonate would appear to be rational. This simple concept has existed for a long time but has never been investigated sufficiently to state clear treatment guidelines for physicians. Furthermore, including patients with both moderate and severe grades of renal impairment represents a novel and comprehensive approach. Thus, conclusions drawn by results of this study are directly applicable to routine care and treatment guidelines.
