bicarbonate ion therapy

Bicarbonate ion therapy involves using bicarbonate, a chemical that neutralizes excess acid in the body, to treat certain medical conditions. It's often used to correct metabolic acidosis, a condition where the bloodstream becomes too acidic due to kidney failure, diabetic ketoacidosis, or certain overdoses. The therapy helps restore the body's acid-base balance, improving function and reducing symptoms. Bicarbonate is typically administered through IV infusion under medical supervision to ensure proper dosing and monitor response, aiming to restore normal pH levels and support overall metabolic stability.
