Does increasing blood pH stimulate protein synthesis in dialysis patients?

[2025-09-25T11:54:35.088837] [PI reasoning] **Evaluating protein synthesis in dialysis patients**

I need to address the question of whether increasing blood pH stimulates protein synthesis in dialysis patients. There's research showing that correcting metabolic acidosis does have an anabolic effect, potentially increasing protein synthesis and decreasing degradation. This points to a likely "yes." However, I should quickly verify my memory and look for relevant studies, such as the one about alkali supplementation and muscle mass. Let's gather concise information to confirm!
