Tri-sodium citrate, the focus of this article, is one such alternative. The article will include consideration of the anticoagulant properties of citrate, some detail of how tri-sodium citrate is used to anticoagulate the dialysis pathway, and the advantages of using citrate rather than standard heparin anticoagulation. The use of tri-sodium citrate is not without risk; the potentially harmful ...

Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) slag is currently utilized with low-grade applications or landfilled. Here, we investigate a novel route to upgrade BOF high-performance binder by chemical activation tri-potassium citrate. The impact of citrate on hydration and phase assemblage analyzed multi-technique approach. Results reveal that the addition considerably enhances reactivity brownmillerite accelera...

Potassium citrate is prescribed to decrease stone recurrence in patients with calcium nephrolithiasis. Citrate binds intestinal and urine calcium and increases urine pH. Citrate, metabolized to bicarbonate, should decrease calcium excretion by reducing bone resorption and increasing renal calcium reabsorption. However, citrate binding to intestinal calcium may increase absorption and renal excr...

background: potassium citrate (k‑cit) is one of the medications widely used in patients with urolithiasis. however, in some cases with calcium oxalate (caox) urolithiasis, the significant response to alkaline therapy with k‑cit alone does not occur. there is scarce published data on the effect of magnesium chloride (mg‑cl2) on urolithiasis in pediatric patients. this study aimed to evaluate the...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of dietary potassium citrate supplementation on the urinary pH, relative supersaturation of calcium oxalate and struvite (defined as the activity product/solubility product of the substance), and concentrations of magnesium, ammonium, phosphate, citrate, calcium, and oxalate in dogs. ANIMALS 12 healthy adult dogs. PROCEDURE Canned dog food was fed to dogs for ...

Low potassium and magnesium status and decreased Na, K-pump activity is an endemic condition among rural Northeast Thais. The authors examined the effect of supplementing potassium and magnesium on erythrocyte potassium, sodium and magnesium content and on Na, K-pump activity. Rural Northeast Thai renal stone patients (62) were recruited, divided into four groups and supplemented for one month ...

1. Potassium citrate did not significantly increase plasma flow to the renal papilla in normotensive Dahl R rats on either low or high NaCl diets. Similarly, potassium citrate did not significantly increase papillary plasma flow in mildly hypertensive Dahl S rats on low NaCl diets. Thus potassium citrate feeding did not ordinarily alter papillary plasma flow. 2. When S rats were fed on a high (...

BACKGROUND Acidosis and transplantation are associated with increased risk of bone disturbances. This study aimed to assess bone morphology and metabolism in acidotic patients with a renal graft, and to ameliorate bone characteristics by restoration of acid/base homeostasis with potassium citrate. METHODS This was a 12-month controlled, randomized, interventional trial that included 30 renal ...
