View clinical trials related to Metabolic Acidosis.
Filter by:This is the first and only study conducted on the use of capnography in children diagnosed with DKA to evaluate the initial clinical grading of DKA, monitor clinical improvement, and predict complications such as brain edema.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about and test the effect of an acid/base diet, in chronic kidney patients with CKD stage 4 and 5 in an interventional study with a historical control. The hypothesize is, that an acid/base diet will reduce the degree of acidosis and the need for oral bicarbonate supplements.
The relationship of developing metabolic acidosis with antiepleptic drugs in craniotomy operations
An acid-base imbalance, called metabolic acidosis (acid-base disorder lasting from several minutes to several days, caused by a decrease in serum bicarbonate ion (HCO3) concentration), is often observed in critically ill patients with various underlying diseases. Metabolic acidosis has a negative impact on the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, nervous, excretory, hematological, endocrine, musculoskeletal and immune systems and is associated with unfavourable outcomes. Reamberin® is a solution of disubstituted sodium salt of succinic acid, which has an alkaline reaction and succinate is capable to integrate into the Krebs cycle and restore energy metabolism in the cell. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of meglumine sodium succinate at a dose of 500 to 3000 ml in critically ill patients with metabolic acidosis and choose the optimal volume of its solution for the correction of metabolic acidosis in critically ill patients.
Background: The serum anion gap (AG) is commonly used as a screening tool for acid-base disorders. With modern laboratory techniques using ion-selective electrodes to measure the main electrolyte components of the AG, our definition high AG (HAGMA) should be reviewed. Aim: This study aims to assess the diagnostic value of AG and to determine a diagnostic threshold for HAGMA in a high-prevalence clinical setting. Method: Computerized extraction of anonymised data from electronic medical records was performed. A pre-defined criteria included all inpatients of an acute-care hospital who had measurements for organic acids (lactate, ketone or salicylate) paired with a serum urea, electrolyte and creatinine panel.
Metabolism is controlled by macro- and micronutrients. Protein-rich diets should lead to latent acidosis at tissue level with further negative implications. Food supplements with alkaline salts are available and popular pretending to prevent these changes. Within a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial, the investigators tested the hypotheses 1) that a 4-week protein-rich diet induces a latent tissue acidosis and 2) an alkaline supplement can compensate this. Acid-base balance and important metabolic parameters were determined before and after 4 weeks of supplementation by peripheral blood samples, indirect calorimetry and muscle microdialysis before and after a protein-rich test meal.
Metabolic acidosis is associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction and is a common complication in patients who have received a kidney transplant. Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) with lower serum bicarbonate levels, even within the normal range, have an increased risk of graft loss and mortality. The investigators propose a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 18-week crossover pilot study to examine the effects of sodium bicarbonate on vascular endothelial function, graft function, and cognitive function in 20 KTR patients.
This study is a 40-week, blinded, placebo-controlled extension of Study TRCA-301 (NCT03317444). Eligible subjects who complete the 12-week treatment period in Study TRCA-301 have the option to participate in this extension study evaluating the long-term safety and durability of effect of TRC101 in subjects with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease and metabolic acidosis. Eligible subjects will be treated with TRC101 or placebo once daily (QD) on an out-patient basis for the subsequent 40 weeks. Subjects will continue to receive the same blinded treatment (TRC101 or placebo) that they received in Study TRCA-301.
This is a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design study. The study will enroll approximately 210 adult male and female subjects with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease and metabolic acidosis. The study dosing (TRC101 or placebo) will continue for 12 weeks once daily. The maximum study duration is anticipated to be up to 16 weeks.
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.
