Scientific titleEffects on progression of renal failure and nutritional status by correction of metabolic acidosis in patients with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Study objectivesExperimental data suggest that acidosis induced excessive renal ammoniagenesis and activation of the complement cascade by the alternative pathway, lead to rapid progression of renal failure which can be attenuated by bicarbonate supplementation. Moreover, metabolic acidosis accelerates protein catabolism and causes malnutrition due to an induced negative nitrogen balance in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We propose that correction of acidosis will attenuate the progression of renal failure and will improve nutritional status in patients with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease.
Ethics approval(s)The study is approved by the Local Research Ethics Committee from April 2002 to July 2006 (ref: P/01/211).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChronic kidney disease
InterventionSodium bicarbonate versus no treatment.

Duration of treatment: 2 years
Method of intake: oral
Frequency of treatment: daily 600 mg three times a day to be titrated up by 600 mg till serum biocarbonate level of greater than 21 mmol/l were achieved
Duration of follow up: 2 years
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Sodium bicarbonate
Primary outcome measureThe primary end points were number of patients reaching ESRD and rate of decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by Cockroft-Gault equation and creatinine clearance (Cr Cl) (24 hours urine sample).

Primary end points are measured every three months.
Secondary outcome measuresNutritional parameters assessed by:
1. Dietary protein intake
2. Protein catabolic rate (PCR)
3. Serum albumin
4. Mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC)

Secondary end points measured every six months.
Overall study start date30/04/2002
