Filter by:Metabolic acidosis recovers a wide range of diseases in which an oral alkalinization could be useful. This therapeutic intervention has been said to increase extracellular volume leading to rising blood pressure. No prospective data has been published in clinical routine. Here, investigators propose to follow patients in which an oral alkalinization is indicated: blood pressure, body weight, and a clinical evaluation of the extracellular compartment will be performed at the beginning and during the follow-up of participants. The principal criterion of evaluation will be the variation in the extracellular compartment.
Low serum bicarbonate levels, even within the normal laboratory range, are strongly associated with increased risks of hypertension, endothelial dysfunction, cardiovascular disease and death. The current proposal will investigate whether bicarbonate administration in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) will improve the health and function of arteries and reduce the size of the left ventricle of the heart. Overall, the proposed research will provide important new scientific evidence upon which physicians can base recommendations to patients with CKD to decrease the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
A pilot study to evaluate the effect of sodium bicarbonate administration on cardiopulmonary resuscitation results and outcomes in cardiac arrest patient with severe metabolic acidosis.
This study will compare hemodialysis treatment with a standard, high-bicarbonate dialysis bath versus a lower bicarbonate dialysis bath, and will compare intradialytic acid-base changes and overall control of metabolic acidosis with the 2 treatment regimens.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and large artery damage is a major factor that contributes to death. Metabolic acidosis is a common complication of CKD resulting from an inability of the diseased kidney to excrete the daily dietary acid load and it is associated with all-cause mortality in patients with CKD. However, the effect of treatment of metabolic acidosis with oral sodium bicarbonate on endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness in patients with CKD has not been evaluated. The investigators propose a prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label 14-week crossover pilot study examining the effect of treatment of metabolic acidosis with oral sodium bicarbonate on vascular endothelial function in 20 patients with CKD stage IV with metabolic acidosis.
This study will compare acid-base changes during hemodialysis treatments with a standard dialysis bath versus a lower bicarbonate dialysis bath, and aims to define the factors that limit equilibration of the bicarbonate concentration in a patient's blood with that in the dialysate.
Kidney disease is a common medical condition. Individuals with kidney disease develop a build-up of acid in their blood. This acid can affect their muscles, bones, glucose metabolism and kidneys. The investigators will test alkali treatment, to treat acid build-up, in a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate effects on muscles, bones, glucose metabolism and kidney.
Propofol has been routinely used for general anesthesia during pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass at our institution without complications. However, propofol may cause propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS), a rare, but often fatal complication mainly defined by bradycardia with progress to asystolia. Metabolic acidosis is regarded as an early warning sign of PRIS. Due to the preconditioning effects of sevoflurane and its availability for cardiopulmonary bypass, propofol has recently been substituted by sevoflurane during pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass at our institution. In this study the effect of substituting propofol by sevoflurane on metabolic acidosis and outcome are examined.
Propofol is routinely used for general anesthesia during pediatric heart catheterisation. Propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) is a rare, but often fatal complication mainly defined by bradycardia with progress to asystolia during propofol infusion. Metabolic acidosis is regarded as an early warning sign of PRIS. In this study the effect of propofol and sevoflurane on serum base excess, pH and lactate are examined during pediatric heart catheterisation.
In this study we want to show that the choice of a balanced type fluid solution for the perioperative fluid management of patients receiving cadaveric renal transplantation results in less occurrence of intra- and postoperative hyperkalemia, and thus the need for postoperative dialysis. Additionally, we aim to determine whether the use of a balanced infusion solution leads to less occurrence of metabolic acidosis and electrolyte disorders than the use of isotonic saline. Furthermore we want to evaluate whether perioperative fluid management with balanced infusion solutions results in a higher frequency of primary graft function than with administration of isotonic saline. We will test the hypothesis that the use of "Elomel isoton"(Fresenius Kabi Austria GmbH) a balanced infusion solution will result in less occurrence of hyperkalemia and consequent post-transplant dialysis, less occurrence of metabolic acidosis, decreased incidence of electrolyte disorders and higher incidence of primary graft function when compared to isotonic saline for perioperative fluid management in patients receiving cadaveric renal transplantation.
