Oral rehydration salts have a shorter shelf life with sodium acetate than with sodium bicarbonate.

Effects of oral sodium bicarbonate in patients with CKD.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Metabolic acidosis contributes to muscle breakdown in patients with CKD, but whether its treatment improves functional outcomes is unknown. The choice of dose and tolerability of high doses remain unclear. In CKD patients with mild acidosis, this study evaluated the dose-response relationship of alkali with serum bicarbonate, its side effect profile, and its effect on ...

Oral rehydration therapy: efficacy of sodium citrate equals to sodium bicarbonate for correction of acidosis in diarrhoea.

Forty patients with moderate degrees of dehydration and acidosis because of acute watery diarrhoea were successfully treated randomly with either WHO recommended oral rehydration solution containing 2.5 g sodium bicarbonate or an oral solution containing 2.94 g sodium citrate in place of sodium bicarbonate per litre of oral rehydration rehydration solution. Efficacies were compared by measuring...

Oral rehydration Salts (ORS)

The four ingredients of ORS (glucose, sodium chloride, potassium chloride and trisodium citrate) in the concentrations described in the document entitled “Oral Rehydration Salts: a new reduced osmolarity formulation” yield an effective solution for rehydration and for the prevention of dehydration. The addition of other ingredients, such as other minerals (especially zinc) or vitamins, has not ...

Can potassium citrate replace sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride of oral rehydration solution?

Ninety four children aged less than 5 years with diarrhoeal dehydration and acidosis were treated randomly with either World Health Organisation (WHO) oral rehydration solution containing sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and glucose or an oral solution with tripotassium citrate monohydrate replacing the sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride in the WHO solution. Fifty ...
