                                Approximately 15% of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) develop metabolic acidosis, a condition where the kidneys fail to remove sufficient acid from the body. This has led many to question: is bicarbonate of soda good for the kidneys to manage this imbalance? When used under strict medical supervision for specific conditions, oral bicarbonate can have therapeutic benefits, but it is not a cure-all or a safe home remedy for kidney problems.
