Background : We investigated the relationship between serum total carbon dioxide (CO2) and bicarbonate ion (HCO3−) concentrations in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and devised a formula for predicting low bicarbonate (HCO3−< 24 mmol/L) and high bicarbonate (HCO3− ≥ 24 mmol/L)...
