The Effect of Treatment of Acidosis on Calcium Balance in Patients with Chronic Azotemic Renal Disease*
AUTOR(ES)
Litzow, John R.
RESUMO
Small but statistically significant negative calcium balances were found in each of eight studies in seven patients with chronic azotemic renal disease when stable metabolic acidosis was present. Only small quantities of calcium were excreted in the urine, but fecal calcium excretion equaled or exceeded dietary intake. Complete and continuous correction of acidosis by NaHCO3 therapy reduced both urinary and fecal calcium excretion and produced a daily calcium balance indistinguishable from zero.
