Baking Soda Induced Severe Metabolic Alkalosis in a Haemodialysis Patient. NDT Plus, (2), 280-281.

When metabolic alkalosis develops, it may cause serious clinical consequences among them are sleep apnea, resistent hypertension, dysrhythmia and seizures. Here, we present a 54-year-old female hemodialysis patient who developed a severe metabolic alkalosis due to baking soda ingestion to relieve dyspepsia. She had sleep apnea, volume overload and uncontrolled hypertension due to metabolic alkalosis. Metabolic alkalosis was corrected and the patient's clinical condition was relieved with negative-bicarbonate hemodialysis.en10.1093/ndtplus/sfp053info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessbaking sodahaemodialysismetabolic alkalosisArticle2280281N/A
