About This Event
Metabolic Acidosis In Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Background
Metabolic acidosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as total CO2 <22 mEq/L, is one of the earliest complications of CKD and has been identified as risk factor for CKD progression, renal replacement therapy, mortality.1,2,3 While metabolic acidosis can be present all different stages of CKD, it is most common in patients with eGFR <40 mL/min/1.73 m2.1 Some studies suggest that correcting metabolic acidosis with alkali therapy may slow down CKD progression.1,4Did You Know?
- In non-dialysis CKD 3-5 patients with metabolic acidosis, a 1mEq/L increase in serum bicarbonate was associated with a 13% reduction in a 2-year composite DD40 (death, dialysis, or 40% reduction in eGFR), and a 7% reduction in per-patient per-year cost?5
- Expert nephrologist, Dr. Samuel A Kantor, will discuss metabolic acidosis in CKD.
- The relationship between metabolic acidosis and hyperkalemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD)
- The role of metabolic acidosis in CKD progression and other complications
- The role of alkali replacement in metabolic acidosis treatment
