potassium bicarbonate/vomiting

To evaluate the ability to provide short hemodialysis (less than 9 hr per week) without the requirement for costly ultra-high efficiency dialyzers and ultrafiltration control delivery systems, 69 patients maintained on chronic hemodialysis were studied. Standard dialysis was delivered with

Metabolic alkalosis is a primary pathophysiologic event characterized by the gain of bicarbonate or the loss of nonvolatile acid from extracellular fluid. The kidney preserves normal acid-base balance by two mechanisms: bicarbonate reclamation, mainly in the proximal tubule, and bicarbonate
