Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for people with chronic kidney disease and metabolic acidosis to study how sodium bicarbonate affects muscle health and physical endurance. Participants will be monitored while receiving treatment to understand the impact on their condition.

You may be able to join if

  • I have moderate to severe chronic kidney disease.
  • I have metabolic acidosis with low bicarbonate levels.
  • I am between 21 and 85 years old.

You may not be able to join if

  • I have type 1 diabetes.
  • I have poorly controlled diabetes.
  • I have uncontrolled high blood pressure.
  • I have a history of kidney treatments like dialysis.
  • I have severe heart disease or aortic dissection.

About This Trial
Skeletal muscle metabolic health is critical for mobility and an underrecognized target of metabolic acidosis in chronic kidney disease. Impaired muscle mitochondrial metabolism underlies poor physical endurance increasing the risk of mobility disability. The proposed project will use precise in vivo tools to study the pathophysiology of poor physical endurance in a clinical trial treating metabol…
