In this episode of TransplantRPh, we discuss the Preserve-Transplant Study, a recent phase 3 trial conducted in Switzerland that aimed to determine whether sodium bicarbonate treatment could preserve graft function and slow the decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in kidney transplant recipients with metabolic acidosis. Join April, a transplant pharmacist, as she dives into the study methods, results, and implications for the management of kidney transplant recipients with chronic kidney disease and metabolic acidosis.
