Understanding the metabolic effects of alkali supplementation may reveal new candidate mechanisms. With this goal in mind, we profiled changes in systemic metabolites after treatment with sodium bicarbonate within a previously performed crossover trial of oral sodium bicarbonate (2).en-USPublisher PolicyRenal InsufficiencyChronicChronic kidney diseaseChronic metabolic acidosisKidneyMetabolismArticle
