Some drugs may do this... Topamax for one.
I really don't know about the kidney aspect... but low bicarb can be corrected with Sod. Bicarb tabs..and this is common in some older patients.
Low bicarb also impacts digestion, since the pancreas needs it to neutralize stomach acid as food enters the small intestine.
Acidosis can give lots of paresthesias too.
Most of the kidney stuff is beyond me. It is very complex.
There is a new poster on the boards...who got kidney problems from IVIG... I'll try to find him and link here to his post.~~
Here it is:

new members cannot send PMs...but they can receive them. To answer they have to hit the reply button on your PM to them. So if you contact this poster privately, you need to explain that to them.
Or you can just answer that thread.
