Description:

In this video, Dr. Puru Dhawan will tell you the importance of baking soda in kidney failure.
 
When the kidney is not functioning waste materials like creatinine, urea, potassium starts accumulating in our body. Among these waste materials, acid is a waste material. This is the acid produced by each and every cell of the body during its metabolism. On accumulation of acid in the blood pH of the blood goes down making blood acidic. When an excess amount of acid is produced in the body it causes metabolic acidosis. To control metabolic acidosis, kidney patients are advised to take sodium bicarbonate or baking soda. Baking soda neutralizes acid in our body. Kidney failure patients are advised to take baking soda on a regular basis. KFT and Serum bicarbonate test are performed simultaneously to check the amount of acid present in the blood. Normal Serum bicarbonate levels are 
22 - 29 mEq/L. Patients with 16 mEq/L serum bicarbonate levels are advised to take 2g of baking soda thrice a day while patients with 18mEq/L serum bicarbonate levels are advised to take 1g of baking soda thrice a day.

Citrus foods should be avoided such as oranges, mangoes, grapes, berries, and vinegar.
