Metabolic acidosis is common in babies fed cows' milk-based formulae. Therefore the effects of adding alkaline salts (sodium and potassium citrate) to a demineralised whey formula were studied in vitro and in 26 low birthweight babies fed on the formula or formula plus citrate. The alkali altered the pH and titratable acidity to a value nearer human milk but it increased the buffering capacity ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Medullary sponge kidney (MSK) is a renal malformation typically associated with nephrocalcinosis and recurrent calcium stones. Incomplete distal renal tubular acidosis, hypocitraturia, and hypercalciuria are common. For stone prevention, patients with MSK generally receive the standard "stone clinic" recommendations and often receive potassium citrate (KC). However, th...

From the analysis of various urinary constituents and the estimation of serum parameters, it is now possible to identify the risk factors responsible for or contributing for stone formation metabolic factor included calcium, oxalate, uric acid, citrate and pH. Environmental factors where total volume, sodium, phosphate and magnesium. Urinary citrate and magnesium found to be lower in stone form...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to present a case of 44 years old woman with topiramate induced metabolic acidosis and kidney stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS The laboratory features of topiramate caused renal tubular acidosis in blood and urine during topiramate treatment, with correction of metabolic acidosis by potassium citrate, and after topiramate withdrawal are presented. Differenti...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Lower urinary citrate excretion is a risk factor for nephrolithiasis and associated with metabolic acidosis and higher prevalence of hypertension and insulin resistance. This study sought to quantify the independent predictors of urinary citrate excretion in population-based cohorts. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS A cross-sectional study of 2561 indivi...

Bayliss, Berenice G. (Washington State University, Pullman), and Elizabeth R. Hall. Plasma coagulation by organisms other than Staphylococcus aureus. J. Bacteriol. 89:101-105. 1965.-Approximately 200 organisms were investigated for their ability to clot human and rabbit plasma. Various anticoagulants were used in preparing the plasma: acid-citrate-dextrose, ethylenediaminetetraacetate, balanced...

The adsorption of coagulation factors was studied in the presence of the following decalcifying agents: Ion exchange resins, ammonium citrate, ammonium oxalate, a mixture of potassium and ammonium oxalate, and sodium E.D.T.A. Whichever decalcifying technique was used, the results were similar and only the results using human citrated plasma (1 part of citrate 0.38% to 9 parts of blood) are repo...

introduction: abusing drugs such as morphine continues to be a serious medical and social problem. defining a habit that increases the devastating effect such as compulsive use and craving is necessary. methods: this experiment was designed in four groups 1) group-housed (gh) 2) isolation 3) group-housed morphine-treated (ghmt) (4) isolated-housed morphine-treated (ihmt). rats were received mor...

Basic Oxygen Furnace slag contains heavy metals, including vanadium, chromium and molybdenum. The leachability of these elements determines the industrial applicability slag-based building products. This study investigates post‑carbonation leaching metals from activated BOF pastes with focus on activator dosage type (sodium potassium citrate). Results reveal that high degree brownmillerite hydr...

The present review examines the importance of dietary organic anions in preventive nutrition. Organic anions are chiefly supplied by plant foods, as partially neutralised K salts such as potassium citrate, potassium malate and, to a lesser extent, oxalate or tartrate salts. Animal products may also supply K anions, essentially as phosphate, but also as lactate as a result of fermentative or mat...
