2. Chronic kidney disease in cats - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_kidney_disease_in_cats

   Cats are carnivores. The kidney is a vital organ with a variety of tasks. It plays an important role in maintaining the water, electrolyte and acid-base balance, in the excretion of toxic metabolic degradation products such as urea and in the recovery of valuable substances such as glucose, amino acids, peptides and minerals initially filtered out of the blood during ultrafiltration in the ...

3. Intravenous sodium bicarbonate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intravenous_sodium_bicarbonate

   Intravenous sodium bicarbonate is contraindicated in patients who are losing chloride, such as by vomiting. [9]Because of its sodium content, intravenous sodium bicarbonate should be used with great care, if at all, in patients with congestive heart failure and severe chronic kidney disease, where low sodium intake is strongly indicated to prevent sodium retention. [9]

4. Renal physiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_physiology

   A simple means of estimating renal function is to measure pH, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and basic electrolytes (including sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate). As the kidney is the most important organ in controlling these values, any derangement in these values could suggest renal impairment.

5. Hemodialysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodialysis

   Hemodialysis, also spelled haemodialysis, or simply dialysis, is a process of filtering the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. This type of dialysis achieves the extracorporeal removal of waste products such as creatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of kidney failure.

6. Ringer's lactate solution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringer's_lactate_solution

   Generally, the source of the constituent ions is a mixture of sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium lactate (CH 3 CH(OH)CO 2 Na), calcium chloride (CaCl 2), and potassium chloride (KCl), dissolved into distilled water. Ringer's solution has the same constituents without the sodium lactate, though sometimes it may also include magnesium chloride (MgCl ...

7. Potassium chloride (medical use) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_chloride...

   Greater care is recommended in those with kidney problems. [2] As long as high blood potassium does not occur, use in pregnancy or breastfeeding is believed to be safe for the baby. [5] Generally, the strength of the formulation for injection into a vein should not be greater than 40 mmol/L (3 mg/L). [4]

8. Alkali citrate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_citrate

   For kidney stone prevention or alkalinization, it is most often accompanied by mineral(s) sodium or potassium. Less frequently, magnesium citrate may be included. [ 2 ] This results in compounds like Trimagnesium citrate, [ 5 ] Tripotassium citrate [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] and Trisodium citrate: [ 9 ]

9. Potassium citrate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_citrate

   Potassium citrate (also known as tripotassium citrate) is a potassium salt of citric acid with the molecular formula K 3 C 6 H 5 O 7. It is a white, hygroscopic crystalline powder. It is odorless with a saline taste. It contains 38.28% potassium by mass. In the monohydrate form, it is highly hygroscopic and deliquescent.
