Biliary bicarbonate secretion may play an important role in canalicular bile flow. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of disturbances in acid-base balance on ursodeoxycholate (UDCA)-induced choleresis and bicarbonate secretion. Isolated rat livers were perfused with an erythrocyte-free solution in a recirculating system. In the absence of bile acid infusion, bicarbonate concentration in bile varied in parallel with that in the perfusate (15.6-35.1 mM), irrespective of the perfusate pH (7.26-7.55). Bicarbonate concentration in bile was not significantly different from that in the perfusate. Under UDCA infusion (2 mumol/min), bicarbonate concentration in bile and perfusate was correlated (P less than 0.001). Bicarbonate concentration in bile was always higher than that in the perfusate. Perfusate pH changes (7.25-7.56) induced by changes in perfusate carbon dioxide tension had no significant effect on bicarbonate secretion or bile flow. A significant correlation was found between bile flow and bicarbonate secretion both with and without UDCA. Acetazolamide (1 mM) significantly decreased both UDCA-stimulated bile flow (-27.7%) and bicarbonate concentration (-51.8%). These results suggest that canalicular bicarbonate secretion includes an equilibrative component that is possibly linked to diffusion of plasmatic CO2 or HCO3- and a concentrative transport that is stimulated by UDCA, is independent of plasma pH, and involves carbonic anhydrase.

Secretin-induced choleresis is of ductal origin and involves bicarbonate transport. Its mechanism is unknown. To determine the relative effects of systemic pH, PCO2, and bicarbonate concentration on secretin-stimulated bicarbonate transport, states of acute metabolic and respiratory acidosis or alkalosis were created in isolated perfused guinea pig livers with or without secretin infusion. During spontaneous secretion conditions, biliary bicarbonate secretion was not correlated with perfusate pH (7.19-7.62) or perfusate PCO2 (23.9-59.7) but was significantly correlated with perfusate bicarbonate concentration (17.5-37.9 mM). Under secretion infusion (25 mU/min), bile flow and biliary bicarbonate concentration increased significantly (109 and 51%, respectively). Biliary bicarbonate secretion was not correlated with perfusate pH (7.19-7.60) but was significantly correlated both with perfusate bicarbonate concentration (14.6-36.8 mM) and PCO2 (25.8-54.3 mmHg). Spontaneous and secretin-induced bile flow were correlated with biliary bicarbonate concentration. The correlation between biliary bicarbonate secretion and PCO2 during secretin-induced choleresis supports the hypothesis that secretin-induced biliary bicarbonate secretion could, at least in part, involve a transport of H+ (or OH-) rather than HCO3- itself and that intracellular pH could play a role in the regulation of this secretion. Amiloride (5 X 10(-4) M) did not influence secretin-induced biliary bicarbonate secretion. This result suggests that the Na(+)-H+ exchange is not involved in bicarbonate secretion by ductular cells.

Our objective is to investigate transperitoneal buffer fluxes with solution containing lactate and bicarbonate, and to compare the final effect on body base balance of the two solutions. One hundred and four exchanges, using different dwell times, were performed in 52 stable continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Dialysate effluent lactate and bicarbonate and volumes were measured. Net dialytic base gain was calculated. Patients’ acid-base status and plasma lactate were determined. In lactate-buffered CAPD solution, lactate concentration in dialysate effluent inversely correlated with length of dwell time, but did not correlate with plasma lactate concentration and net ultrafiltration. Bicarbonate concentration in dialysate effluent correlated with plasma bicarbonate and dwell time but not with ultrafiltration. The arithmetic sum of the lactate gain and bicarbonate loss yielded the net dialytic base gain. Ultrafiltration was the most important factor affecting net dialytic base gain. A previous study demonstrated that in patients using a bicarbonate-buffered solution the net bicarbonate gain is a function of dwell time, ultrafiltration, and plasma bicarbonate. By combining the predicted data of the dialytic base gain with the calculated metabolic acid production, an approximate body base balance could be obtained with both lactate and bicarbonate-buffered CAPD solutions. The body base balance in CAPD patients is self-regulated by the feedback between plasma bicarbonate concentration and dialytic base gain. The level of plasma bicarbonate is determined by the dialytic base gain and the metabolic acid production. This can explain the large interpatient variability in acid-base correction. Bicarbonate-buffered CAPD solution is equal to lactate solution in correcting acid-base disorders of CAPD patients.

Citrate excretion has been studied in dogs under various conditions of acid-base balance in order to determine which factors are responsible for the increased citrate clearance present in metabolic alkalosis. A close relationship, significantly modified by systemic pH, was found between plasma bicarbonate concentration and citrate clearance. In the presence of an alkaline plasma pH, there was a linear relationship between changes in plasma bicarbonate concentration and changes in citrate clearance. Other experiments also demonstrated the influence of plasma bicarbonate concentration on citrate clearance at alkaline pH. Under acidotic conditions citrate clearances were low and changes in plasma bicarbonate concentration had little effect on citrate excretion. A change in plasma pH from an acidotic to an alkalotic state, with a constant plasma bicarbonate concentration, produced an increase in citrate clearance. Thus the coexistence in metabolic alkalosis of high plasma bicarbonate concentration and high plasma pH results in a markedly increased citrate clearance.

Abstract The Co2 combining power bears a variable relationship to the in vivo plasma bicarbonate concentration, depending upon the type and severity of acid-base distortion. In respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis the Co2 combining power will usually be greater than the in vivo plasma bicarbonate concentration; whereas, in respiratory acidosis and metabolic alkalosis the Co2 combining power will usually be less. Co2 content, on the other hand, will always parallel the in vivo plasma bicarbonate concentration quite closely, being only slightly greater. These facts, together with other considerations which are discussed, recommend the abandonment of the determination of CO2 combining power.

Background Electrolyte and acid-base balance may be differently affected by the infusion mode in on-line hemodiafiltration (HDF). We studied the effects of the different infusion modes on bicarbonate transport across the dialyzer membrane, and thus on the final bicarbonate balance of the HDF sessions. Methods Instantaneous HCO3− transfer across the dialyzer membrane, blood bicarbonate profile and the total balance of the sessions were studied in six dialysis patients under the same operating conditions over 36 HDF sessions, in order to compare the effects of predilution HDF (pre-HDF), postdilution HDF (post-HDF), and mixed HDF on the final bicarbonate balance. Results The final HCO3− balance was more positive in post-HDF vs pre-HDF (142 ± 36 vs 99 ± 41 mmol/session, p<0.05), with a final blood HCO3− concentration of 26.6 ± 1.0 vs 25.4 ± 1.1 mmol/L, (p<0.05). Mixed HDF yielded intermediate results (balance: 119 ± 42 mmol/session, final HCO3− 26.2 (1.2 mmol/L). These differences were seen to result from the increased HCO3- concentration of blood entering the filter in predilution, due to the infused HCO3−, enhancing convective loss and reducing the driving force for diffusive HCO3− gain. Conclusions Bicarbonate concentration in dialysate-reinfusate is critical in order to obtain an adequate end of session HCO3− balance in on-line HDF. The predilution method produced the lowest cumulative net HCO3− gain between the three studied infusion modes. Our data suggest that, under the same operating conditions and excluding the effect of ultrafiltration, dialysate HCO3− should be increased by about 2 mmol/L in pre-HDF, and 1 mmol/L in mixed HDF, to yield the same final balance as in post-HDF.

When running in vivo experiments, it is imperative to keep arterial blood pressure and acid-base parameters within the normal physiological range. The aim of this investigation was to explore the consequences of anesthesia-induced acidosis on basal and PGE2-stimulated duodenal bicarbonate secretion. Mice (strain C57bl/6J) were kept anesthetized by a spontaneous inhalation of isoflurane. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), arterial acid-base balance, and duodenal mucosal bicarbonate secretion (DMBS) were studied. Two intra-arterial fluid support strategies were used: a standard Ringer solution and an isotonic Na2CO3 solution. Duodenal single perfusion was used, and DMBS was assessed by back titration of the effluent. PGE2 was used to stimulate DMBS. In Ringer solution-infused mice, isoflurane-induced acidosis became worse with time. The blood pH was 7.15–7.21 and the base excess was about −8 mM at the end of experiments. The continuous infusion of Na2CO3 solution completely compensated for the acidosis. The blood pH was 7.36–7.37 and base excess was about 1 mM at the end of the experiment. Basal and PGE2-stimulated DMBS were markedly greater in animals treated with Na2CO3 solution than in those treated with Ringer solution. MAP was slightly higher after Na2CO3 solution infusion than after Ringer solution infusion. We concluded that isoflurane-induced acidosis markedly depresses basal and PGE2-stimulated DMBS as well as the responsiveness to PGE2, effects prevented by a continuous infusion of Na2CO3. When performing in vivo experiments in isoflurane-anesthetized mice, it is recommended to supplement with a Na2CO3 infusion to maintain a normal acid-base balance.

Introduction. Ethylene glycol (EG) is relatively nontoxic but undergoes a multi-step oxidation to toxic metabolites, aldehydes and acids. The accumulation of organic acids, mainly glycolates, leads to the development of profound, life-threatening metabolic acidosis. A key therapy is an antidotal treatment with fomepizole (4-MP), the inhibitor of the first step of EG biotransformation enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase.Aim. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the efficacy of fomepizole in the prevention of acid-base balance disorders in acute ethylene glycol poisonings in rats.Material and methods. Adult male Wistar rats were given EG (p.o.) with single (i.p.) or multiple (p.o.) doses of 4-MP (EG 3830 and 5745 mg/kg, respectively, 4-MP in single dose of 10 mg/kg or 15 mg/kg followed by 10 mg/kg every 12 hours). Blood gas analysis was performed and blood pH, bicarbonate concentration and base excess were evaluated.Results and conclusions. The single dose of 4-MP was effective in preventing a decrease in blood pH, bicarbonate concentration and base excess during the entire experimental period (pH 7.35 vs 7.21 at hour 12, bicarbonate concentration 27.2 vs 18.3 mmol/dm3 at hour 8, base excess 1.8 vs -8.2 mmol/dm3 at hour 18). The multiple administration of 4-MP started 2 hours after EG poisoning resulted in rapid restoration of proper values of acid- -base balance parameters. Fomepizole is highly efficacious in restraining the acid-base balance disorders which are concomitant with acute ethylene glycol poisonings.
