This cluster of papers focuses on the diagnosis, management, and effects of metabolic acidosis, particularly in the context of chronic kidney disease. It explores the impact of bicarbonate therapy, dietary acid load, and renal function on acid-base balance, bone health, endothelin activity, and cardiovascular risk. The papers also discuss the potential benefits of nutritional interventions in addressing metabolic acidosis.
