Abstract
The effect of minimum doses of extradietary potassium citrate ingestion on urolithogenic parameters has been studied. Separate urine fractions were collected in 24-hour periods. Five calcium oxalate stone formers have participated in the study. pH, calcium, citric acid, and the crystallization inhibitory capacity levels in fractional urine samples were determined before and during treatment. The most beneficial effect (increase in citraturia and crystallization inhibitory capacity) was produced by potassium citrate tablets ingested after dinner.Entities:
