Brief description/objective

Metabolic acidosis (MA) is a common complication in kidney transplantation (KTx). It is more prevalent in KTx than in CKD, and it occurs at higher glomerular filtration rates. The pathophysiologic understanding of MA in KTx and its clinical impact has been highlighted by few recent studies. However, no guidelines exist yet for the treatment of MA after KTx.
