Acid retention occurs early during the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Studies conducted in patients with CKD suggest that alkali supplementation may slow CKD progression. However, the diagnosis of acid retention is challenging when plasma bicarbonate concentration is still normal.

Although interesting, this claim yet requires confirmation by further studies.
