Older people may be at increased risk of premature death if they have low levels of bicarbonate, a main ingredient in baking soda, in their blood, a new study suggests. In the study, researchers ...

This is the solution to a case we presented recently. You may review the case here. The patient had complained of dyspnea, and an abnormal electrolyte panel revealed a decreased bicarbonate level of ...

This page lists all known medications that could potentially lead to 'Bicarbonate level' as a side effect. It's important to note that mild side effects are quite common with medications. The ...

The optimal dialysate bicarbonate concentration is one that prevents acidosis at the beginning of the next dialysis session while avoiding postdialysis alkalosis. Few studies have assessed the effect ...

This review describes a method of analyzing acid–base disorders that incorporates insights from the traditional, bicarbonate-centered model and the Stewart (or strong ion) model (Table 1). 1–6 ...

Bicarbonate, ubiquitous in the body, helps the antibiotic azithromycin kill apparently resistant bacteria, including the multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ACS Infect. Dis. 2020, DOI: 10.1021 ...
