Summary
Metabolic acidosis is a common problem that occurs with worsening chronic kidney disease.
Dietary acid can build up when the kidneys are not working well. This can be associated with
a higher risk of worsening kidney function and death. The usual treatment is a medication
called sodium bicarbonate which works to balance the acids in the body. The medication
however often does not work and causes side effects. Consumption of alkalizing fruits and
vegetables may work as a treatment for metabolic acidosis. This trial is being done to see if
fruits and vegetables, provided via home delivery, can become a viable treatment for
metabolic acidosis in patients with chronic kidney disease.
