Mechanism of action

Bicarbonate endovenous hydration works by replenishing bicarbonate ions in the bloodstream, which neutralizes excess hydrogen ions and restores acid-base balance. This intervention is particularly used to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy by alkalinizing urine and reducing oxidative stress in the renal tubules, while simultaneously providing volume expansion to maintain renal perfusion.
