About Agents to treat Metabolic Acidosis.

Rather than representing a single standardized chemical class, "agents to treat metabolic acidosis" describes a functional therapeutic grouping of alkalinizing medications and buffer systems.

Their primary therapeutic mechanism involves replenishing extracellular base deficits or binding excess circulating hydrogen ions, which neutralizes systemic acidemia, elevates serum bicarbonate concentrations, and restores physiologic blood pH.

In clinical practice, these agents—most commonly sodium bicarbonate, citrate-based formulations, and tromethamine—are predominantly utilized to manage acute or chronic acid-base disturbances arising in chronic kidney disease, severe lactic acidosis, circulatory collapse, and toxic ingestions.
