Kidney function is vital to our good health. Patients with Chronic Kidney
Disease(CKD) are eager to improve their kidney functions. So here I recommend a
substance---baking soda, which can improve the renal function.
There are many methods to improve the renal function. Baking soda is one of
those methods. Researchers have found that baking soda can significantly slow
the progression of kidney disease. And doctors reported that for the patients
who accepted the baking soda, the decline rate of kidney function was two-thirds
slower than those who did not accept the baking soda.
As we know, if chronic kidney disease is not well controlled, it could
advance toward the end stage of renal disease(ESRD). When the kidneys are
damaged to some level, the body waste and toxins will not adequately filtered
from the kidney, at this time, a condition called metabolic acidosis may
appear.
Metabolic acidosis is one of the most common disturbances of acid-alkaline
balance. Also, it means a patient’s blood PH is abnormally low. Metabolic
acidosis can lead to severe results for the patients, for example, patients may
fell rapid breathing, etc.
Baking soda, also called as sodium bicarbonate, can deal with the metabolic
acidosis. Patients who take a small daily dose of baking soda can have the
normal decline levels of renal functions. Furthermore, patients who take baking
soda get a good nutrition. At the same time, the intake of sodium would not
cause any blood pressure problems.
Baking soda in clinical is often used as a medication to the rectification of
metabolic acidosis. It could decrease the amount of NH+, which is produced by
the renal tubules and it could aggravate the course of kidney disease.
So in the early stage of chronic kidney disease, take small amounts of baking
soda is helpful for the patients to delay the progression of this disease as
well as improve your renal function.
