AbstractYES. Long-term sodium bicarbonate therapy slightly slows the loss of renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and may moderately reduce progression to end-stage renal disease (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, meta-analyses of lower-quality randomized controlled trails [RCTs]). Therapy duration of 1 year or less may not be beneficial (SOR: C, secondary analyses in meta-analyses).
