In this abstract a U-shaped mortality risk was found associated
with the predialysis serum HCO3 level, similar to previous
results found by Lowrie and Lew (AJKD 15:458, 1990). The lowest
risk was found when HCO3 was between 16 and 22 mEq/L. The mean
URR was similar in patients with HCO3 less than 16, 16-22, and
greater than 22.
