A Comparison of Treating Metabolic Acidosis in CKD Stage 4 Hypertensive Kidney Disease with Fruits and Vegetables or Sodium Bicarbonate
TL;DR: Fruits and vegetables improve metabolic acidosis and reduce kidney injury in stage 4 CKD without producing hyperkalemia, and one year of fruits and vegetables or NaHCO3 yielded eGFR that was not different, was associated with higher-than-baseline PTCO2, and was associatedWith lower- than-Baseline urine indices of kidney injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Daily oral sodium bicarbonate preserves glomerular filtration rate by slowing its decline in early hypertensive nephropathy
Ashutosh Mahajan,Ashutosh Mahajan,Jan Simoni,Simon J. Sheather,Kristine Broglio,Kristine Broglio,M.H. Rajab,Donald E. Wesson,Donald E. Wesson +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that in hypertensive nephropathy, daily sodium bicarbonate is an effective kidney protective adjunct to blood pressure control along with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of metabolic acidosis in patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease with fruits and vegetables or oral bicarbonate reduces urine angiotensinogen and preserves glomerular filtration rate
TL;DR: Dietary alkali treatment of metabolic acidosis in CKD that is less severe than that for which KDOQI recommends therapy reduces kidney angiotensin II activity and preserves eGFR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary acid reduction with fruits and vegetables or bicarbonate attenuates kidney injury in patients with a moderately reduced glomerular filtration rate due to hypertensive nephropathy.
TL;DR: A reduction in dietary acid decreased kidney injury in patients with moderately reduced eGFR due to hypertensive nephropathy and that with fruits and vegetables was comparable to sodium bicarbonate, andruits and vegetables appear to be an effective kidney protective adjunct to blood pressure reduction and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition in hypertensive and possibly other nephrostathies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amelioration of metabolic acidosis in patients with low GFR reduced kidney endothelin production and kidney injury, and better preserved GFR
Sorot Phisitkul,Apurv Khanna,Jan Simoni,Kristine Broglio,Kristine Broglio,Simon J. Sheather,M. Hasan Rajab,Donald E. Wesson,Donald E. Wesson +8 more
TL;DR: It appears that sodium citrate is an effective kidney-protective adjunct to blood pressure reduction and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition in patients with hypertensive nephropathy and metabolic acidosis.
