Nodosis (sodium bicarbonate) is mainly used to reduce discomfort of intestinal gas. I am not sure if it was prescribed for your kidney disease. In fact, it should be used cautiously innpatient with kidney problem. It will be better if you clarify with your doctor.

Soda bicarb medicine is generally given to neutralise metabolic acidosis due to kidney failure. If bicarb level in the bloods are low and ph is low then you need to take it as prescribed by your doctor. And it has nothing to do with lowering creatinine. It has protective effect on body.
