Abstract
Oral sodium bicarbonate supplementation is effective in correcting MA in HD patients and does not affect interdialytic weight gain, plasma Na, and blood pressure. The correction of MA is effective in reducing protein catabolism (nPCR) in both inflamed and less inflamed HD patients, but increases sAlb only in patients without inflammation. In inflamed patients, the correction of MA is not sufficient per se to improve sAlb concentrations.
