title: [Effects of improved levels of plasma bicarbonates in terminal renal failure].
abstract: Correction of chronic renal acidosis was attempted for 6 weeks in 20 end stage renal failure patients on chronic acetate hemodialysis by means of 6-9 g of sodium bicarbonate given orally by means of gastric juice resistant capsule of 1 g. Normalisation of the inter-dialysis acid base status was obtained without major side effects.
