daily dose of baking soda could help patients with chronic kidney disease avoid having to undergo dialysis
increase the proportion of fruits and vegetables
effect of fruit juices on acid-base status is mainly determined by the presence of citrate. Citrus juices are rich sources of citrate [33]. Dietary citrate is absorbed in the intestine and nearly completely metabolized to bicarbonate, which in turn increases urinary pH
Bicarbonate in mineral water can increase urinary pH as effectively as a medical therapy with alkali citrate.
alkalizing effect of bicarbonate-rich mineral water was found to be similar to that of potassium citrate
Conclusions
Treatment with potassium citrate in renal transplant patients is efficient and well tolerated for correction of metabolic acidosis and may be associated with improvement in bone quality
650 mg potassium bicarbonate or citrate three times a day. 2 grams!
