Treatment of Metabolic Acidosis Due to Gastrointestinal or Renal Base Loss with Poor Clinical Tolerance

This protocol targets a specific presentation of metabolic acidosis (ICD-10 E87.2 / ICD-11 5C73): acidosis driven by ongoing gastrointestinal or renal base loss in patients who are not tolerating the acidotic state well clinically.
