          Abstract

          Background: Metabolic acidosis (MA) is one of the most common consequences of CKD. MA is also a risk factor of CKD progression and increased mortality in these patients. Aim: The aim of this retrospective, cross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence of MA in different stages of CKD and renal replacement therapy (RRT) modalities – haemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). Additionally, the relationship between the prevalence of MA and aetiology of kidney disease was analysed. Methods: One thousand five patients in different stages of CKD, or modalities of RRT were enrolled into this single-centre cross-sectional study. Forty-one patients were ruled out because of oral bicarbonate supplementation. In the remaining 964 patients (698 CKD stages 1–5, 226 HD, 40 PD), venous blood HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> concentration, as well as serum Cr and urea concentrations were assessed. MA was diagnosed when blood HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> concentration was below 22 mmol/L. Results: The prevalence of MA increased among all stages of CKD. Patients on HD had lower prevalence of MA in comparison with CKD 5 patients with no RRT (38.5 vs. 56.0%; p = 0.02) In PD patients, the prevalence of MA was significantly lower than in HD patients (2.5 vs. 38.5%; p < 0.001). In the whole study group, there were no significant differences in the prevalence of MA between different aetiologies of CKD (glomerulonephritis 24%, hypertension 23%, diabetes 25%, and tubule-interstitial diseases 24%). Also, when only patients in stages CKD 3–5 were compared, no significant differences in the prevalence of acidosis were found (glomerulonephritis 28%, hypertension 22%, diabetes 24%, and tubule-interstitial 21%). Conclusions: (1) MA is more frequent in patients with more advanced stages of CKD. (2) RRT reduces the prevalence of MA. (3) In PD patients, MA is rare. (4) Aetiology of CKD seems not to have a significant impact on MA prevalence.

          Bicarbonate supplementation slows progression of CKD and improves nutritional status.

          Bicarbonate supplementation preserves renal function in experimental chronic kidney disease (CKD), but whether the same benefit occurs in humans is unknown. Here, we randomly assigned 134 adult patients with CKD (creatinine clearance [CrCl] 15 to 30 ml/min per 1.73 m(2)) and serum bicarbonate 16 to 20 mmol/L to either supplementation with oral sodium bicarbonate or standard care for 2 yr. The primary end points were rate of CrCl decline, the proportion of patients with rapid decline of CrCl (>3 ml/min per 1.73 m(2)/yr), and ESRD (CrCl <10 ml/min). Secondary end points were dietary protein intake, normalized protein nitrogen appearance, serum albumin, and mid-arm muscle circumference. Compared with the control group, decline in CrCl was slower with bicarbonate supplementation (5.93 versus 1.88 ml/min 1.73 m(2); P < 0.0001). Patients supplemented with bicarbonate were significantly less likely to experience rapid progression (9 versus 45%; relative risk 0.15; 95% confidence interval 0.06 to 0.40; P < 0.0001). Similarly, fewer patients supplemented with bicarbonate developed ESRD (6.5 versus 33%; relative risk 0.13; 95% confidence interval 0.04 to 0.40; P < 0.001). Nutritional parameters improved significantly with bicarbonate supplementation, which was well tolerated. This study demonstrates that bicarbonate supplementation slows the rate of progression of renal failure to ESRD and improves nutritional status among patients with CKD.

            Association of serum bicarbonate with risk of renal and cardiovascular outcomes in CKD: a report from the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) study.

            The purpose of this study is to evaluate serum bicarbonate level as a risk factor for renal outcomes, cardiovascular events, and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Observational cohort study. 3,939 participants with CKD stages 2-4 who enrolled in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) between June 2003 and December 2008. Serum bicarbonate level. Renal outcomes, defined as end-stage renal disease (either initiation of dialysis therapy or kidney transplantation) or 50% reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR); atherosclerotic events (myocardial infarction, stroke, or peripheral arterial disease); congestive heart failure events; and death. Time to event. Mean eGFR was 44.8 ± 16.8 (SD) mL/min/1.73 m(2), and median serum bicarbonate level was 24 (IQR, 22-26) mEq/L. During a median follow-up of 3.9 years, 374 participants died, 767 had a renal outcome, 332 experienced an atherosclerotic event, and 391 had a congestive heart failure event. In adjusted analyses, the risk of developing a renal end point was 3% lower per 1-mEq/L increase in serum bicarbonate level (HR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.94-0.99; P = 0.01). The association was stronger for participants with eGFR >45 mL/min/1.73 m(2) (HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.85-0.97; P = 0.004). The risk of heart failure increased by 14% (HR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.03-1.26; P = 0.02) per 1-mEq/L increase in serum bicarbonate level over 24 mEq/L. Serum bicarbonate level was not associated independently with atherosclerotic events (HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.95-1.03; P = 0.6) and all-cause mortality (HR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.95-1.02; P = 0.3). Single measurement of sodium bicarbonate. In a cohort of participants with CKD, low serum bicarbonate level was an independent risk factor for kidney disease progression, particularly for participants with preserved kidney function. The risk of heart failure was higher at the upper extreme of serum bicarbonate levels. There was no association between serum bicarbonate level and all-cause mortality or atherosclerotic events.

              Association of serum bicarbonate levels with mortality in patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD.

              Metabolic acidosis, usually manifested by low serum bicarbonate level, is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and appears to be associated with higher mortality in dialysis patients. It is not known whether a similar association is present in patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD (NDD-CKD). We used multivariable-adjusted Cox models to examine the association between baseline and time-variable serum bicarbonate (measured as total CO2) with the outcomes of all-cause mortality and the composite of pre-dialysis mortality or end-stage renal disease in 1240 male patients with moderate and advanced NDD-CKD. Serum bicarbonate showed a significant U-shaped association with all-cause mortality, with the highest mortality rate observed in patients with baseline serum bicarbonate levels or =22 mmol/L: 1.33 (1.05-1.69), P = 0.02] and the lowest mortality observed in patients with baseline serum bicarbonate of 26-29 mmol/L. The associations between lower serum bicarbonate level and mortality were more accentuated in subgroups of patients with better nutritional status and lower inflammation. Both lower and higher serum bicarbonates are associated with increased all-cause mortality in patients with moderate and advanced NDD-CKD. Clinical trials are needed to determine if therapeutic interventions aimed at optimizing serum bicarbonate can result in improved outcomes in this population.
