Brief Summary:
Effect of oral sodium bicarbonate therapy on renal tubular acidosis in epilepsy patients taking topiramate.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Epilepsy Metabolic Acidosis Tubular Acidosis; Renal Dietary Supplement: Sodium bicarbonate Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Children on topiramate are at a risk of renal tubular acidosis and subsequent development of renal stones. Sodium bicarbonate has been shown to reduce renal tubular acidosis in other populations. To date, no data exist on the efficacy of correction of renal tubular acidosis in pediatric patients on topiramate. We are proposing to investigate the efficacy of 4 weeks of oral sodium bicarbonate therapy to reduce tubular acidosis in patients on topiramate.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Sodium Bicarbonate

Patients will receive sodium bicarbonate for 4 weeks, based on pre-calculated weight based doses. Patients are selected if they have metabolic acidosis at baseline.

< 24 kg : 1/4 teaspoon bid. 24 - 42 kg : 1/2 teaspoon bid. > 42kg : 3/4 teaspoon bid.

 Dietary Supplement: Sodium bicarbonate
Sodium bicarbonate. See arms.
No Intervention: Control
Patients will not receive treatment if they do not have metabolic acidosis at baseline.
