About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Chronic Kidney Disease
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must be 18 years or older,
- Have been on dialysis for at least 1 year,
- Be stable on treatment (i.e., without frequent changes in their dialysis prescription, or recent hospitalizations),
- Be reasonably nourished (serum albumin > 3.5 g/dl and not currently receiving oral nutritional supplement through DCI).
- Self-reported urine output of <200 cc/day
- Functioning arteriovenous fistulas or grafts for dialysis access
- Currently dialyzing at a dialysate [HCO3-] of 33-37 mEq/L.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnancy,
- Acute illnesses of any kind,
- Hospitalization in the prior 3 months (except for vascular access related),
- Significant congestive heart failure, liver or lung failure.
- Pre-dialysis blood [HCO3-] <19 mEq/L) (to reduce the risk of metabolic acidosis )

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The aims of the proposed studies are first to delineate the physiological response of End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) patients to exposure to a bath [HCO3-] of 35 mEq/L and an [acetate] of 4 mEq/L, and second, to determine whether reducing bath [HCO3-] will have the expected effect of decreasing or abolishing stimulation of organic acid production. A secondary endpoint will be whether the patients tolerate such a reduction and its impact on pre-dialysis blood [HCO3-]. If the outcome is positive in both regards, future studies will measure well-being and outcomes with reduced bath [HCO3-].
