Baking soda to prevent kidney damage from heatstroke
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can protect the kidneys in people with severe heatstroke, which can cause muscle breakdown and kidney injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are admitted to the hospital with heatstroke
- Your body temperature was over 104°F (40°C) when you arrived
- A blood test shows your CPK (muscle enzyme) level is higher than 1000
- You or a family member can sign a consent form
- You had a creatinine (kidney function) test done when you got to the hospital

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if giving sodium bicarbonate helps critically ill patients who have both metabolic acidosis (too much acid in the blood) and acute kidney injury (sudden kidney trouble). It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes.
This study tests if taking creatine supplements can protect your brain and kidneys during intense exercise in hot conditions. You'll exercise and have your thinking and kidney function checked afterward.
This trial studies how to better recognize worsening heat stroke early and predict outcomes. If you’ve had heat stroke, it may help improve monitoring and treatment planning for future patients.
This trial tests whether a non-cooling blanket can manage body temperature in people with heat stroke, and compares it to standard cooling methods. It may help find a simpler, less intensive way to control dangerous overheating.
This trial tests ways to protect the kidneys in intensive-care patients who have moderate or severe acute kidney injury. If you are on a ventilator or medications to support blood pressure, this study may offer extra kidney care to help prevent further damage.
This trial studies whether taking sodium bicarbonate changes “energy” in cells and improves metabolic acidosis (an acid build-up) in people with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease. You may be able to join if your kidney function and blood bicarbonate levels fit their targets and you meet safety rules.
